5th Annual “Romancing the PAC” Concert Scheduled for February 14th, 2010
Astoria—On February 14, at 3:00 p.m., violin virtuoso and composer Kim Angelis will perform in concert at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, at 16th and Franklin, in Astoria.
The gypsy-inspired music of Kim Angelis has been heard on Network TV, PBS, NPR, and in the award-winning documentary film, Saviors of the Forest. The independent film, Sweet Nothings, exclusively features music by Kim Angelis, which was nominated for Best Original Score by the California Independent Film Society; the same film was also nominated for Best Score by the International Independent Film Tour. Her first release on ROM Records, Violin Voyager (1989), resided on Asian Billboard charts for ten years. Angelis’ 1996 CD, Esperanza, was selected as a “Choice Recording” by prestigious Strings magazine, and was nominated by Just Plain Folks for Best Instrumental Album. Kim’s most recent CD, Gypsy’s Odyssey (2005), has made “Top Ten” lists in places as diverse as Santa Cruz, CA, and Herford, Germany. In July 2007, Kim’s composition, “Zingaro!”, won the Global Rhythm Magazine international Song Contest.
Some of the violinist’s most memorable experiences took place on foreign soil; Kim treasures her two concert tours of Taiwan - replete with humorous situations - that culminated in multiple-encore appearances at Taipei’s prestigious National Concert Hall. A pair of extended concert engagements in Chile, which included performances at universities, galleries, and the spectacular Palacio Vergado, provided fertile ground for the composer’s imagination. One of the most exciting “performances” of Kim’s music was at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, when world champion gymnast Kui Yuanyuan of China used music by Kim Angelis for her floor exercise. NBC gave Kui Yuanyuan’s performance prime-time coverage, thus exposing Kim’s music to the “world’s largest audience”. Currently, junior world champion gymnast Amelia Racea of Romania is performing her floor exercise to Kim’s music.
Josef Gault, on nylon string guitar, will accompany Kim Angelis. Such luminaries as Manitas de Plata and Sabicas have inspired his gypsy-styled guitar artistry. Currently, Josef is a part-time host of the very popular "All Kinds of Folk" radio program on KMUN/KTCB, Astoria, Oregon. He is also the Cultural Events Coordinator at Clatsop Community College in Astoria.
Angelis and Gault hope that each “Romancing the PAC” concert is varied from the previous year’s offering. For this 5th Annual show, renowned cellist John Brecher, newly of Brownsmeade, will be added to the ensemble on selected numbers. Keeping alive the tradition established at the previous four concerts, a new composition will be given its world premier performance.
Admission to the February 14th “Romancing the PAC” concert will be $10.00; tickets will be available at Bach ‘n’ Rock or at the door.
