Neil and Tamara Caulkins will be presenting a concert of classical guitar duets in Soap Lake on Saturday, October 17th at 7:00 pm. The program features Dry Falls, a work co-commissioned with Friends of the Lower Grand Coulee which can only be heard at this live performance. Admission is by donation.

The program opens with Michael Young's Prelude Music, a majestic - and playful - four movement work: Prelude, Fugue, Passacaille, and Toccata. This was commissioned inspired by the organ at St. Mark’s cathedral in Seattle. It is followed by "Pentamerisms" by R. Michael Daugherty. This suite explores the number five (i.e. "penta" is a prefix meaning five, originally from Greek) in three movements. Bruce Reiprich's impressionistic "When Flowers Sleep" opens the second half. The duo premiered Reiprich’s piece in Ellensburg on March 8, 2026. The final suite on the program, "Dry Falls," was co-commissioned with Friends of the Lower Grand Coulee. In six movements, the suite evokes the Missoula Floods with still water motifs and crashing waves. Learn more about this piece on Northwest Public Radio (under “Dry Falls”).
