About: “Among my works, the one I like best is the home that I have built in Milan for accommodating old singers not favored by fortune...the poor dear companions of my lifetime! Believe me, my friend, that home is truly my most beautiful work.” Giuseppe Verdi

VIVA VERDI! Giuseppe Verdi, Italy’s most notable composer -La Traviata, Aïda, Falstaff, Rigoletto, willed his vast fortune to build a distinctive retirement home for musicians and artists in Milan, Italy. VIVA VERDI! is an intimate journey uncovering the rich and diverse stories of these living treasures who call Casa Verdi home and the international music students who are mentored by and live among them. With stories of romance, tragedy and triumph abounding from these living treasures, it’s easy to see Verdi's vision thriving---a life-affirming reminder of how music moves us at a fundamental level; how nurturing artistic expression can be life-enhancing and nourishing to the spirit at any age; and how one distinctive retirement home saved thousands of lives.

About: In this 1980s sci-fi classic, small-town California teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back into the '50s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson), and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.

Orkney (Scotland) born fiddler Louise Bichan and Indiana (USA) mandolinist Ethan Setiawan present a collaboration and meeting of their musical worlds in Hildaland. A path steeped in the fiddle traditions of their respective sides of the Atlantic, the journey taken wends through Scottish, oldtime, and Swedish inspired music intertwined with contemporary compositions. Bichan’s fiddle is a melodic foil to Setiawan’s counterpoint and harmonic depth, and the two weave in and out seamlessly.

Setiawan has won such accolades as the 2014 National Mandolin Championship, the 2017 RockyGrass Mandolin Championship and has shared the stage with the likes of Julian Lage, Darrell Scott, Bryan Sutton, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, Casey Driessen, the Steel Wheels, Don Stiernberg, Matt Flinner, and Jacob Jolliff.

Bichan has won awards for her compositions and playing, and has travelled far and wide to perform in various line ups since a young age. She has appeared at the likes of the BBC TV's Hogmanay Live show, Edinburgh Castle, Reading Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Lorient Interceltique Festival, Milwaukee Irish Festival and Sligo Live festival. In 2016 she released her first solo album, Out of My Own Light, to great acclaim.

Tix: $20 Adults, $10 Youth 12-17 (Tix at door).

Ruth Neslund, in the basement, with a meat grinder...Or at least that's how the story gets told.

Celebrating International Women's Day on March 8th, the Lopez Island Grange Presents: Singing for Justice.

Singing for Justice tells the story of Faith Petric (1915-2013), a political radical, community organizer, and charismatic performer who united folk music and progressive causes through almost a century of American social movements. Narrated largely by Faith herself, the film weaves together her musical and political journeys to showcase the central role of folk music in the transformational social movements of the 20th century.

Jim Page is a renowned singer and songwriter living in Seattle, Washington. He sings of politics and romance, adventure and comedy, tragedy, history, and meditations on life, death, and the absurd. His improvisations are legendary, and if there’s anything to talk about that he hasn’t sung about, it’s just that he was too busy singing about something else.
