Come sing with Inspirational OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH NONPROFIT ORGS The Center for Nonprofit Law is looking The local art world suf- fered a huge loss Saturday with the death of Dick Easley, the founder and owner, with his wife, Asian art scholar Hue-Ping Lin, of the White Lotus Gallery, Eugene’s most elegant art venue. He was 82. Having met in Taiwan, the couple opened White Lotus in South Eugene in 1992, at first basing its offerings on Easley’s large collection of modern Japa- nese prints; they later moved the business downtown and expand- ed its range to include contempo- rary Chinese prints and paintings as well as work by contemporary Northwest artists. “Dick Easley set the standard for galleries and art lovers in Eu- gene,” Eugene art collector Rog- er Saydack said. “His love for art and artists, his impeccable taste, and his friendly and respectful manner helped make White Lo- tus a center of our cultural life.” A quiet, self-effacing man, Easley was a true mensch. Some fifteen years ago, when Karin Clarke decided to open her own gallery right across the street from White Lotus, Easley stepped up to help a competitor. “Dick always gave me very smart and clear advice about run- ning an art gallery, and I tried to listen,” Clarke said. “The extraor- dinary quality and elegance of what they’ve been doing with the gallery has been something very unique to have in Eugene — not just the work, but the knowledge and passion they bring to it.” Easley had been battling can- cer for some time but contin- ued to work at the gallery as his health allowed. His death Satur- day came after his hospitalization from a fall and a subsequent heart attack. No memorial has been set.

Renée Fleming. The regular sea- son offers a new cello concerto, Tales of Hemingway by Michael Daugherty; a Messiah in Decem- ber; and two works by Augusta Read Thomas, who will be in residence. See details at Eugene- Symphony.org. Perhaps the biggest symphony news is this: After some years of consideration, the orchestra next season will join most of the rest of the local performing-arts commu- nity by moving the start time of its concerts from 8 pm to 7:30 pm. Se EUGENE National and even interna- tional attention has been focused on music director searches in Eu- gene lately because three of the last four people on the podium — Marin Alsop, Miguel Harth- Bedoya and Giancarlo Guerrero — have all gone on from their jobs here to national prominence. After sorting through hun- dreds of résumés and perfor- mance videos, the symphony brought nine people to Eugene for interviews. That group was winnowed down to three final- ists: Dina Gilbert, a Canadian who has served as assistant con- ductor at the Orchestre sympho- nique de Montréal; Ryan Mc- Adams, a symphony and opera conductor who is former music director of the New York Youth Symphony; and Lecce-Chong, a Colorado native who is assis- tant conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. All three finalists came to town to conduct regular season concerts. With its exquisite musical- ity, Lecce-Chong’s March 16 performance left little doubt in anyone’s mind who should take up the baton next fall, and I’m as enthusiastic as anyone about his selection. Meanwhile, the symphony has announced its 2017-18 sea- son, which opens with a special concert Sept. 19 with soprano Hannah Clotere Real Estate Broker • 541-543-9345 HannahSellsHomes.com eugeneweekly.com • A pril 27, 2017 27
