Twilight Tunes

The Twilight Tunes summer concert series is back!

Summer/Time Hosted by Becky Smith of CSM

This concert represents a unique collaboration between multi-talented musicians weaving their expertise into rich juxtapositions. Harpist Kim Robertson is internationally known and her music crosses categories while keeping one foot firmly in Celtic tradition. Gayle Neuman plays vielle (violin), sings, and  also plays and makes historical double reed instruments. Phil Neuman plays recorder, sackbutt (trombone), various other wind and string instruments, and co-directs the Oregon Renaissance band. Both Neumans are well-known throughout the world for their extensive knowledge of early music, Sumerian through Victorian. They have even been in the movies!
