SUMMARY:“More than you ever need to know about Accordions” - Geoff Levear\, Presenter
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Levear\nThe Accordion: History\, Mechanics\, and Versatility \nIntroduction\nThis presentation will explore the history of the accordion\, as well as explain how the instrument produces its distinctive sound. \nHow Accordions Work\nWe will take a look inside the accordion to understand the internal mechanisms responsible for generating sound. The way the instrument is constructed plays a significant role in its unique tonal qualities. \nRegional Differences in Sound\nAccordions from different regions—such as Italy\, France\, Germany\, and China—each have their own characteristic sound. We will discover how these differences arise depending on where the instrument is made. \nThe Mystery of the Buttons\nAnother aspect we will address is the abundance of buttons on the accordion. We will learn why there are so many and what functions they serve. \nBeyond Oktoberfest: Accordion Versatility\nFinally\, we will see that the accordion is not limited to Oktoberfest or traditional folk music. In fact\, this instrument can fit into any genre\, highlighting its remarkable adaptability. \n

SUMMARY:The Oregon Cultural Trust - Niki Price\, Presenter
DESCRIPTION:Niki Price\nWhere else but Oregon would you find a statewide program to protect cultural vitality?\nCreated in 2001 by the Oregon Legislature\, the Oregon Cultural Trust is a testimony to how much Oregonians value culture. No other state provides a 100 percent tax credit to inspire cultural giving. \nAs uniquely Oregonian as public beaches and the bottle bill\, the Oregon Cultural Trust was established by the Oregon Legislature as an ongoing funding engine for arts and culture across the state. \nOregonians fund the Cultural Trust. We\, in turn\, fund the artists\, potters\, rappers\, acrobats and dreamers who make Oregon\, Oregon. \nIn 2023 Oregonians gave $5.4 million to the Cultural Trust! Sixty percent of that went straight back to the field. The remaining 40 percent helped grow our permanent fund. \nOur three grant programs fund our five Statewide Partners\, 45 County and Tribal Coalitions and qualified cultural nonprofits through competitive Cultural Development Grants. \nNo other state in the union has this incredible benefit. Lucky Oregonians! \n
