Orchestra Nova Northwest celebrated its new identify with strong performances of music by African-American composers at Reynolds Excessive College (September 14). Carried out by Music Director Steven Byess (now in his tenth season with the orchestra), the live performance supplied gems by George Walker, Florence Value, and Fred Onovwerosuoke, together with two nuggets that have been delivered with elan by pianist Artina McCain.
However dang it! A paltry viewers on a wet night was the one factor that marred an distinctive program.

The orchestra that was beforehand often known as the Portland Columbia Symphony up to date its identify to Orchestra Nova Northwest with the intention to replicate its mission to current concert events within the better Portland metropolitan space with an emphasis on the range of musical expertise. With that renewed imaginative and prescient in thoughts, ONN’s inaugural live performance embraced its creative endeavor wholeheartedly, starting with Onovwerosuoke’s Dance Tribute for Orchestra and Piano Obbligato. Born in Ghana to Nigerian dad and mom, Onovwerosuoke is an award-winning American composer who’s equally at house in African and Western musical kinds. He has impressively visited greater than thirty African nations to analysis Africa’s wealthy musical traditions.
Usually, the primary quantity in an orchestra live performance is a brief, uplifting orchestra-only piece that tunes up concertgoers’ ears. Onovwerosuoke’s piece did precisely that within the type of a mini-piano concerto. With McCain on the keyboard, the Dance Tribute for Orchestra and Piano Obbligato leapt ahead with a handy guide a rough, catchy melodic phrases that had an African underlayment. They have been spiced up every now and then by spirited riffs from the flute. 4 percussionists danced forwards and backwards between a battery of devices, and the piece concluded with a sense of rhythmic pleasure.
George Walker’s Lyric for Strings has been getting increasingly performances by orchestras all over the world, a long-overdue recognition of Walker’s artistry. He wrote the piece when he was 24 years previous and finding out on the Curtis Institute of Music. Shortly earlier than he died in 2018, he advised interviewers “I by no means performed a string instrument, however one way or the other strings have all the time fascinated me.” Wow!
Below the baton of Byess, the NOO introduced out the terrific combination of lament, poignancy, and optimism that imbues the Lyric for Strings with an intoxicating timelessness. The decrease strings added simply the correct amount of gravitas in order that the music got here throughout prayerfully, however not piously. It sounded good.

The renaissance of curiosity within the music of Value has been set in movement by the rediscovery in 2009 of a lot of her items that have been thought of misplaced. It was a miracle {that a} trove of her scores have been present in a run-down, deserted home in St. Anne, Illinois – about 70 miles south of Chicago – that Value had used in the course of the summer season. As an alternative of being tossed within the dumpster, the music was verified by musicians and musicologists and now could be heard on live performance phases and recordings as soon as once more.

McCain returned to heart stage for a efficiency of Florence Value’s Piano Concerto in D Minor in One Motion (which truly has three actions, however they’re performed with out pause). The propulsive, rolling melodic line of the “Andantino” obtained loads of verve from McCain. The stunning oboe and piano duet highlighted the “Adagio cantabile,” and the springy juba dance within the “Allegretto” introduced the piece to an excellent finale.
After intermission, Value’s Symphony No. 1 in E Minor obtained a advantageous efficiency by the orchestra. Byess urged glorious taking part in from the woodwinds plus a advantageous viola solo within the first motion. A stately alternate of passages between the brass and woodwinds enhanced the second motion, and the clarinet gave a motoric sense of fixed movement. The syncopated juba-inflected rhythms of the third motion have been infectious – solely to be topped off by a barely sooner tempo within the fourth, which led to a jubilant finale.
Returning to the sparse attendance, I do know that the orchestra has labored onerous to attract an viewers within the east-county space with concert events in Gresham and Troutdale, however I’m questioning what it might take to generate a sturdy turnout. Hmm…

“This sport has been round for a very long time, and to do one thing that’s by no means been accomplished — he’s certainly one of one,” supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned. “It couldn’t be a extra gifted participant. He couldn’t be extra humble. … It was a win for Main League Baseball.”
Simply weeks in the past, Ohtani grew to become the sixth member of the 40-40 membership on Aug. 23, doing so in model with a walk-off grand slam in opposition to the Rays. He reached that unique milestone in 126 video games, beating the earlier mark by 21 video games and placing him in place to develop into the inaugural member of the 50-50 membership.
“If I’m being sincere, it was one thing I wished to recover from as quickly as potential as a result of the balls had been being exchanged each time I used to be as much as bat, so it was one thing that I wished to recover from with,” Ohtani mentioned by interpreter Will Ireton.
“I’m simply blissful, relieved, and really respectful to my friends and everyone that got here earlier than that performed this sport of baseball.”
Because the anticipation round him grew, it was unimaginable to foretell Ohtani would make historical past with the kind of sport he put collectively on Thursday.
In his first at-bat, Ohtani simply missed hitting his forty ninth homer of the 12 months, as a substitute settling for a leadoff double. He then took off for third, recording his fiftieth stolen base of the season. He was simply getting began.
Two at-bats later, Ohtani doubled to the left-center-field hole and took off for third. Ohtani may’ve been overly aggressive, however it was clear that he knew the opportunity of the cycle was inside attain. His teammates and coaches inside the house dugout knew that Ohtani had historical past on his thoughts.
“I do not even know if it was like a reduction factor,” outfielder Mookie Betts mentioned. “I feel he was simply feeling good, feeling horny and simply knew, like, ‘I am about to do that at the moment.’ I imply, he may’ve had 4 homers at the moment. I am confused.”

As an alternative, Schumaker determined to let Mike Baumann face the two-way star. It resulted in Ohtani hitting an opposite-field homer to finish the historic achievement.

He hit the house run. I imply, that’s simply a part of the deal. He’s essentially the most gifted participant I’ve ever seen.
“He’s doing issues that I’ve by no means seen accomplished earlier than within the sport. And if he has a pair extra of those peak years, he is likely to be the very best ever to play the sport.”

With place participant Vidal Bruján on the mound, Ohtani took a 2-0 pitch up within the zone and launched it to the higher deck as soon as once more, finishing the primary three-homer sport of his profession and arguably the very best sport ever contemplating the circumstances.
“That must be the best baseball sport of all time. It must be,” second baseman Gavin Lux mentioned. “There’s no method. It’s ridiculous. I’ve by no means seen anyone do this even in Little League. It’s loopy that he’s doing that on the highest stage.
“I feel everyone knows in right here that we’re watching the best participant to ever play the sport.”
After signing a 10-year, $700 million deal this winter, all the skin strain fell on Ohtani. He wanted to show he was well worth the richest contract in American sports activities and wasted no time doing so by smashing a homer in his first Spring Coaching look with the Dodgers, some of the anticipated and seen Cactus League video games in latest reminiscence.
Ohtani hasn’t stopped hitting since, setting a private greatest in homers in addition to the single-season franchise report, surpassing Shawn Inexperienced’s 2001 complete of 49. With the Dodgers navigating by plenty of accidents this season, Ohtani has performed a serious function in Los Angeles being on the verge of successful its eleventh NL West title in 12 seasons.
“For us as teammates, it’s only a privilege to look at him each single day,” shortstop Miguel Rojas mentioned. “I virtually cried, to be sincere with you, as a result of it was loads of feelings due to every thing that occurs behind the scenes that we acquired to witness each single day.
“It’s a reasonably cool second. Everyone knows what he’s able to doing. However for him to achieve that mark, it’s fairly wonderful.”
Behind the scenes, Ohtani has additionally been rehabbing from a second main proper elbow surgical procedure in an effort to return to the mound in 2025. For many gamers, that may imply a misplaced season. However for Ohtani, that didn’t cease him from producing among the finest particular person offensive seasons within the historical past of the game.
What as soon as was merely a superlative about Ohtani is now totally true. He’s in a league of his personal.
“Nothing surprises you anymore with him, as a result of he can do stuff like that,” Rojas mentioned. “Think about when he will get to pitch subsequent 12 months.”
