40th Anniversary

Welcome to Kaleidoscope, Centrum’s celebratory 40th Anniversary Gala!
A kaleidoscope offers a sensational visual metaphor for Centrum and its 40
years of impact in the lives of thousands of aspiring artists and learners of all
ages. What begins, slowly changes over time, always influenced by that which
came before.
The same is true of Centrum and its many thousands of participants from
age four to ninety-five! Centrum’s programs change lives, and we are here
tonight to celebrate 40 years of extraordinary enrichment.
Our 40th Anniversary Ruby Gala is a chance for you to show your support of
Centrum and its mission.
We encourage you to bid tonight, motivated by knowing that 100% of what
you bid helps Centrum and the thousands of workshop students and adults
whom we serve. We ask that you bid generously, knowing that you will be
doing well by doing good!
We are especially thrilled to debut an excerpt of a brand new documentary
film about Centrum which will be released in 2014. Local filmmakers Jane
Champion and Michael Delagarza have been documenting Centrum’s
programs since 2000, and we hope you will be powerfully moved by the
stories of our diverse and dedicated participants and faculty. We thank Jane
and Michael for their own artistic contributions to our anniversary season.
Finally, as we reflect upon these forty years with much gratitude to all those
who brought us to where we are today, we also look forward to the incredible
potential of Centrum’s on-going programs and the possibility of new and
exciting ventures. With your help tonight, Centrum can fulfill its potential and
continue to offer a kaleidoscope of transformative experiences for next year
and beyond.
Tonight’s event is particularly important to emerging artists, young and old,
who cannot otherwise afford to experience what we offer without financial
assistance. Your special participation in tonight’s auction and “Fund-a-Need”
segment supports our annual programs and scholarships for these artists.
Please don’t forget to purchase tickets for your opportunity to win a sevenday cruise on Holland America! One lucky winner will walk away tonight with
this trip of a lifetime.
This evening is the also result of the hard work, dedication and commitment
of nearly 100 volunteers led by our 2013 Gala co-chairs, Debbi Steele and Kelli
Conrads. Please join us in thanking them, their volunteer committee members,
our most generous presenting sponsor, Kitsap Bank, auctioneer Jim Dever—
and all of our Board and staff as we celebrate our achievements together!
Thank you all for your continued support, and here’s to forty more years of
life-changing programs at Centrum!

Port Townsend, David Conklin

range of photographic options
and services—Custom Framing,
Portraits, Editorial and Commercial, Weddings, as well as
copywork and Giclee printing of
client art.
The ruby (gemstone of the 40th
anniversary) possesses an eternal
inner flame, symbol of the passion
that’s kept Centrum alive and
strong for the last 40 years and
burns as fuel for its future.
Kaleidoscope’s 40th Anniversary

that passion, incorporating symbols

the form of a rise of rubies. There

and purchase your centerpiece
early by writing your bid number
on the card. At the close of the
evening, volunteers will pack your
centerpiece for its ride home.

Voice Works
The Festival
of American
Fiddle Tunes
Suzy Thompson,
Artistic Director
There is nothing as compelling,
or personal, as using one’s own
voice to make music. Centrum’s
Voice Works draws extraordinary
faculty as well as participants
of all levels – what they have in
common is their desire and love
of making music. This year Voice
Works featured the Birmingham
Sunlights, joyous keepers of a
deep-rooted American tradition
associated with four-part gospel
harmony singing. The Sunlights,
along with other acclaimed
faculty/musicians, including Pharis
and Jason Romero, Linda and Dave
Lay, Kristin Andreassen, Suzy
Thompson, and more, led classes
ranging from duet and trio singing
and four-part a cappella to basic
song writing. The womens’ singer
showcase was an astonishing
demonstration of powerful talent,
and the annual Polka dot dance
brought its usual hint of joy and
playfulness.
This year’s Festival represented
a multiplicity of styles from Cape
Breton, Basque, Cajun and more.
What a way to spend the week living, learning, and jamming with
masters of a wide array of fiddling
styles, and most important, being
“in community” with the bearers of
fiddle traditions
“It’s one of the most amazing
opportunities I have ever known and
I always get something out of it that
makes a difference in how I continue
to make music.”
Artistic Director Suzy Thompson
continued her momentum
from last year and assembled a
panoply of classes, performances
and dances that offered cultural
discovery and deepening of
community for all. The Basque trio
of Joseba Tapia, Javier Leturia, and
–2013 voice works participant
8
Arkaitz Miner were a particular
highlight with their unrelenting
energy and their performance of
both traditional and cutting-edge
Basque music. They, along with
our other talented artists, brought
to life the art and the soul of
community-based fiddle music.
“The entire Basque troupe was
incredible. All three of them made
a huge effort to come and jam and
interact with the participants even
though they didn’t speak English that
well. Music is a universal language,
and they speak it so well.”

The Port

Writers’
Conference

Townsend
John Clayton,
Artistic Director
Erin Belieu,
Artistic Director
Since 1974, the Port Townsend
Writers’ Conference has
provided writers of all levels
with rigorous craft instruction in a
nurturing environment.
Whether writers come to create new
work, to rethink and revise existing
work, or whether they simply desire
to be refreshed and renewed in
the writing life, the Port Townsend
Writers’ Conference is the central
heart of the Pacific Northwest
literary scene.
In 2014, the Port Townsend
Writers’ Conference returns to
its historic ten-day model, which
was in place from 1974 to 2004.
July 10-20, such faculty as Artistic
After 37 years, Jazz Port
Director Erin Belieu, as well as Kim
Addonizio, Robert Lopez, Emily
Rapp, Dana Levin, Sam Ligon, and
others, transform the inspirational
environment of Fort Worden State
Park into a supportive, craft-oriented
community built around helping
each writer take the next step in
their writing life.
Townsend is still going strong
as one of the oldest and most
respected Jazz workshops in the
nation. Artistic Director John
Clayton orchestrated a week-long
opportunity for participants to
meet other aspiring musicians,
soak up a week of jazz in a seaside
paradise, and leave as a better
musician. Our faculty are not only
great teachers, but also outstanding
performers and entertainers, filling
the week with exciting concert and
club performances. Audiences
were delighted by nationally and
internationally acclaimed artists
such as Anat Cohen, Clarence Acox,
George Cables, Jeff and Gerald
“I walked away with a sense of
having found a community. There
were so many creative, stimulating people to exchange ideas and
experiences with.”
–2013 port townsend writers’
conference participant

Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, Cyrille
Aimée, and many more. Centrum
continues to draw the greats to
this workshop and to provide lifechanging educational experiences to
participants.
When asked about highlights, one
2013 Participant said:
“I made many friends, felt remarkably inspired, and am excited about
how much better my performances
will be, as I digest my new knowledge, and let it shine through me.
All of the professional musicians,
though they didn’t know me, were
warm and inclusive.”
C e n t r u m
Artistic Director, Daryl Davis,
once again brought some of the
best performers and faculty to our
Blues Festival this year, including
Phil Wiggins, Sunpie Barnes,
Warner Williams – to name a
few. Participants enjoyed daily
offerings in Hill Country, Delta
and Piedmont styles, fingerpicking, blues guitar, slide guitar,
harmonica, violin, mandolin, banjo,
blues piano, bass, blues singing,
and gospel choir, all taught by
masters of the traditions – topped

Artist
Residencies

for high school students to study
a wide range of dance styles and
techniques in a supportive, yet
challenging atmosphere.

individuals or groups in all art
genres. This program provides
an ideal location of tranquility
and natural beauty nestled in Fort

“I found my confidence in dance and
learned that I am capable of doing
any type of music as long as I can
connect the dances with my heart.
Learning how to express my feelings
through dance was a highlight.”

Ukulele
Festival
Marianne Brogan,
Artistic Director
In its inaugural year, Centrum’s
2013 Ukulele Festival resulted in
a waiting list of more than 100
participants, all of whom have
to wait for next year’s festival.
Now that’s high demand! The
“Uke” festival showcased
national faculty members with
137 of Centrum’s newest friends.
The beauty of the uke is that
its music is universal – nearly
any style or era of music is and
can be replicated on a ukulele.
Artistic Director Marianne
Brogan led the acclaimed week
with aplomb and two special
sold-out concerts capped a
magical week of sharing and
learning, the likes of which our
community has never seen!
