"Romancing the PAC” Benefit Concert to raise funds to improve
the CCC Performing Arts Center in Astoria and CCC Arts & Ideas
Community College Arts & Ideas and CCC Foundation proudly present “Romancing
the PAC,” an evening of exquisite music with internationally acclaimed
composer and violin virtuoso Kim Angelis, with Josef Gault, guitar, and
David Carlson, piano, on Saturday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the CCC
Performing Arts Center, 16th & Franklin, Astoria. This benefit concert
will raise funds to improve both the facility and the Arts & Ideas
program.
Kim Angelis has enthralled concert audiences from Ancud, Chile, to Alaska
and over the seas to Asia with her dazzling virtuosity and exuberant
stage presence. She is often described as “transforming herself
from a soft-spoken, modest and spiritual person into a wild creature
of the violin with flying skirts and hair, a few broken bowstrings and
stomping heels.” (Clancy Hughes, Inflection Point)
Josef Gault, “The Wild Hungarian” is a native of Michigan
who has devoted himself to music since 1994. His flamenco-styled guitar
artistry is inspired by such luminaries as Manitas de Plata and Sabicas.
He is the host of the popular “All Kinds of Folk” radio program
on KMUN/KTCB, Astoria, and is also the Technical Production Manager at
Clatsop Community College.
Kim and Josef are delighted to perform this benefit concert in their
hometown of Astoria. They will be featuring the romantic aspect of their
music, introducing new material, and of course, will perform "The
Astoria Waltz." They extend a heartfelt “thank you, Astoria,
for embracing this song so warmly!”
The CCC Arts & Ideas program encompasses a broad spectrum of cultural
enrichment offerings that are presented in a setting of artistry and
education, providing opportunities for creativity and learning for both
artists and audiences alike. It is proud to be a contributor to the vibrant
heritage and cultural arts activities of our community.
The CCC Foundation is dedicated to supporting the College’s mission
of providing high quality educational opportunities that serve the community’s
needs.
