Northwest Sinfonietta brings the wonders of the great outdoors inside the concert hall with Sky & Stone. This innovative and collaborative program opens with a newly commissioned piece by NWS clarinetist Angelique Poteat inspired by the famous Chuckanut Formation near Bellingham, Washington. Next we transform the hall into the bogs and frozen tundra of the Arctic with Rautavaara’s concerto for birdsong and orchestra, Cantus Arcticus. Beethoven’s pastoral Symphony No. 6 concludes the concert with its bubbling brook, thunder storm and joyful country gathering. Northwest Sinfonietta is partnering with Tacoma Tree Foundation, Tahoma Bird Alliance, NW Geological Society, Spaceworks Tacoma and Tacoma Youth Symphony for this performance.
In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators.
Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.

What happens when your work self and your real self stop agreeing?
Partition is an improvised workplace dramedy inspired by the eerie tone of Severance. Each performance follows characters living divided lives, one version of themselves at work and another outside of it. As those identities begin to blur, the results are funny, unsettling, and deeply human.
This is not a mystery to be solved. It is an experience to inhabit. Expect uneasy laughter, unexpected connections, and moments that linger long after the show ends.
Leave your memories at the door. Pick them up on your way out.
