Pianist to perform
recital at arts center
PENDLETON — A
classical program by one
of the world’s up-and-com-
ing performers will be pre-
sented in Pendleton by
Italian-Australian pianist
Jonathan Ferrucci.
As part of Portland
Piano International’s Ris-
ing Stars program, the
event is Sunday, April
14 at 2 p.m. at Pendleton
Center for the Arts, 214
N. Main St. There is no
admission charge. People
may reserve a free seat at
www.pendletonarts.org or
show up prior to the per-
formance for open seating.
Ferrucci will be avail-
able for a question-and-an-
swer session following the
recital. Children are wel-
come, but adults should
stress the importance of
being quiet during the
performance.
In
2015,
Ferrucci
co-founded
Made
in
Music, a nonprofit orga-
nization, through which
he organized two festivals
bringing together young
musicians from eight coun-
tries. He strongly believes
that music is a universal
language that can unite
people from different cul-
tures and backgrounds.
Ferrucci has given
concerts as a soloist
and chamber musician
throughout Europe, Aus-
tralia, the United States
and Japan. As winner of
the Jaques Samuel Inter-
collegiate Competition in
2016, his Wigmore (Lon-
don) recital was profes-
sionally recorded and he
was invited to play at Faz-
ioli Concert Hall in Italy.
In 2018 he made his debut
at Carnegie Weill Hall as
part of the “Guildhall Art-
ists in New York” project
and was a winner at the
International Bach Com-
petition in Leipzig.

“Different Places in Her Heart,” a one-woman show by Ellen Taylor, opens April 19 at Tamastslikt Cultural Institute.
Tribal artist paints from her heart
Ellen Taylor’s
exhibit opens April
19 at Tamastslikt
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
The artwork of Ellen
Taylor is featured in an
upcoming
one-woman
show at Tamastslikt Cul-
tural Institute.
“Different Places in Her
Heart” opens Friday, April
19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at the museum, located
off Interstate 84 Exit 216,
near Wildhorse Resort &
Casino. Admission is free
on the opening day.
Each piece of her art, Tay-
lor said, “comes from a dif-
ferent place in her heart, but
they are all woven together
in perfect harmony.”
A member of the Con-
federated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reserva-
tion, Taylor also descends
from the Ojibwa (Chip-
pewa) Tribe. Her mater-
nal great-great-grandfather
is the late Chief Clarence
Burke, who served as chief
of the Umatilla Indians
from the 1930s until his
death in 1987.
Taylor has been paint-
ing since she was in grade
school. She received strong
encouragement to express
her artistic abilities from
her grandmother, Ellen
Mary Taylor. She studied
art at Blue Mountain Com-
munity College and at the
College of Santa Fe in New
Mexico. In 2016, a stylized
portrait by Taylor titled
“Off to the Powwow” was
featured in the first rotating
display of American Indian
artwork at the University of
Idaho at Moscow.
Her works have been
described as “Picasso meets
Native American type of
contemporary art in Andy
Warhol’s living room type
of thing.” Taylor, herself,
says her art “…comes from
visions, feelings, life expe-
riences, death, turmoil, new
birth, illness, relationships,
and the history of life.”
The perfect balance,
Taylor said, comes from
finding the time to artic-
ulate, create, and balance
all or some of this into her
busy life.
The exhibit runs through
June 15. The museum is
open Monday through Sat-
urday from 10 a.m to 5 p.m.
Regular admission is $10
for adults, $9 for seniors,
$7 for students/youths and
free for ages 5 and under.

541-429-7700 or visit www.
