"The Making of a Memorial"
Friday evening, August 1st, at 7 p.m.
Orland's own, sculptor Ulises Meza, provides us with the whole story behind the creation of the three-quarter lifesize bronze located at the Memorial Hall in Orland. This impressive sculpture is a tribute to the area's fallen military members during the country's wars. This talented artist earned his MFA at CSUC, where he also served as an adjunct instructor. See these fascinating photos and hear their story as Ulises takes us through the challenging process of making a memorial.
"Finding my Way"
Friday evening, September 5th, at 7 p.m.
Pianist Vincent Castaneda takes musical scores that speak to him and enriches them with his own unique interpretations. His talent is that of a story teller who tells a tale that makes the listener want to hear more. Using the wide emotional range the piano provides, he creates exciting musical passages, filled with dramatic darks and intricate, sparkling highs. His music is always evolving, and its sound is rhythmic and rich. Listen as Vincent tells its story.
