2011-12 Season Outlook
Dear Friends,
For those who have received an email from me in the last ten years, you’ve no doubt read the following quote by choreographer Merce Cunningham:
’‘The morning light on the veranda is rich, gaudy and generous. Face the day, pumpkins! Crack the shell the way the chicks do.’’
To me this quote by one of the great artists of our time represents a feeling of optimism, a generosity of spirit, and a sense of abundance. And yes, even in these times, we are blessed with abundance – an abundance of creativity, thoughtfulness, and compassion all experienced through the power of the performing arts.
Portland Ovations’ 2011-12 season holds dear this same outlook. From fresh new voices to familiar faces; from great solos to thrilling collaborations; from once-in-a-lifetime moments in the concert hall to “arts happenings” in unexpected places; we hope you will share with us the richness of what the performing arts offers each of us and our community.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you again and again throughout the 2011-12 season.
Enjoy,
Aimée M. Petrin
Executive Director

I am interested in the H&H concert in October. But, what will the program be? Bach, Vivaldi, etc is not specific enough.
Christopher Winters says:
What an exciting season! I’ve been waiting many years for “Mamma Mia” to make it to Portland. Add to that “South Pacific”, Anthony Bourdain & Eric Ripert, and Neil Berg’s 101 years of Broadway - so many shows to go see. Thank you, Portland Ovations!
