SUMMARY:Justice for All: Generations Connected
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow City Performing Arts is excited to be celebrating its twenty-fifth year of creating a diverse and inclusive environment for musical expression that promotes the equity and visibility of people in the LGBTQIA+ community! As we celebrate this quarter-century milestone\, we will look through the lens of music into our past and present to ensure that we are creating the best possible future for our queer community. We are proud to have Seattle’s Lambert House as our community partner for Rainbow City Concert Band’s performance\, “Generations Connected”. Lambert House is a nonprofit which empowers lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and questioning youth through the development of leadership\, social\, and life skills. In this concert\, RCCB will be celebrating LGBTQIA+ composers throughout history by lifting up the music of these historically marginalized composers and examining how we can make generational connections in our lives and through our actions. \nOur concert will begin by showcasing music from LGBTQIA+ composers of the past. You will hear well-known classics such as Saint Saens’ “Carnival of the Animals”\, Berstein’s “Slava!”\, Barber’s “Commando March”\, and the Finale from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5.  Also featured on the program is a lesser-performed\, yet monumentally important composer\, Ethel Smyth. We will perform the overture from her opera\, The Wreckers. \nFor the second half of our concert\, you will hear the music of present day’s LGBTQIA+ composers. We will be playing some very recognizable selections such as music from John Kander’s Broadway-classic Chicago\, and a beautiful arrangement of the traditional folk song “Shenandoah”\, by Omar Thomas. We will also perform some music which you may not be familiar with! Libby Larsen’s piece\, “Hambone”\, pays homage to the percussive techniques and rhythms used by enslaved Africans in North America. Randall Standridge’s piece\, “Vanishing Point”\, invites you to transport your mind to a beach as you gaze into the distance until everything escapes your vision over the horizon. And finally\, we are excited to be premiering Kevin Day’s “Song of Rebirth”.  This piece was commissioned for the Rainbow City Concert Band in 2021. Due to the pandemic\, the piece was performed and premiered virtually with each performer recorded in isolation. We are thrilled to be able to bring our ensemble together\, with you\, to perform and experience the live\, in-person\, world premiere of “Song of Rebirth”! \n      RCCB’s “Generations Connected” will be held at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center (400 S 2nd St\, Renton\, WA 98057) on Saturday\, April 15\, 2023 at 7:00pm. More information and tickets can be found at our website\, rainbowcityband.com. Tickets purchased at the door will have an upcharge of $5 per ticket\, so purchase your tickets now!

Read on to learn more about each ensemble and their offerings to the concert! \nThe Rainbow City Jazz Band is made up of instrumentalists and vocalists alike who can’t get enough swing! This 20-year-old ensemble is a random collection of 17 musicians playing jazz with a desire to jam with one another in order to support the community. Their set this evening brings a jazzy take on religious and secular seasonal music such as This Little Light of Mine\, Whoa Christmas Tree\, This Christmas\, and The Man with the Bag. \nNo Strings Attached is a group of 6 musicians from the Rainbow City Orchestra who are thrilled to join forces for two delectable tangos; Piazzolla’s iconic Libertango and Turner’s Tango Expressivo! \nThe Pentacorns is a brass quintet composed of members of the Rainbow City Band\, the Rainbow City Jazz Band\, and Reign City Riot.

Flûtrange was founded in 2018 when Max Baldonado\, a founding member of RCPA\, and Siva Sankrithi\, came up with the idea of an RCPA flute choir. French for “queer flute”\, and a portmanteau of Flute and range\, our group features concert flutes\, piccolos\, alto flutes\, and bass flutes. The group has performed at numerous chamber music gigs\, community events\, and senior living locations over the years\, and also helped develop and test the famed Upbeat Music App\, which allowed us to rehearse and perform remotely through the pandemic.

SUMMARY:If the Shoe Fits: Red Stiletto
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow City Orchestra in their debut performance presents an evening of music “In Heels.” This concert was inspired by Brazilian composer Arthur Barbosa’s Suite “Scarpin” for string orchestra. \nThe evening will include a performance of “her first show” by Mari Valverde and the world premiere performance of a piece entitled “Visions of Hildegard.” The score was composed by Barbara Harbach\, and is a reflection on the music of one of the first known female music composers in history. \nThe concert is designed to challenge our understanding of what is feminine and celebrate the work of female artists of the 20th century. \nJoin us in heels at the Microsoft Auditorium\, Seattle Public Library at 7pm for an evening of spectacular music! \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Concert: Let It Shine
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the first concert of our 2019-2020 Be the Light Season! \nWith this season\, we want to focus on the element of our Lesbian Gay Band Association mission: Visibility. We want to increase visibility on what we produce as an inclusive organization\, not just musical concerts\, but the safe atmosphere for our members and community to take chances\, embrace fear\, and truly express ourselves and our independent beauty\, as we are! \nLet it Shine\, our first concert\, will be presented in partnership with Northshore Youth and Family Services. We are also partnering with the national movement Make it OK. One in five of us suffers from mental illness\, and stigma about mental illness comes in many forms: silence\, exclusion\, and darkness. We can do more to create a space\, a home in RCPA\, for people to more openly talk about their mental health\, shining a light and making it okay to do so. \nWe will present music ranging from Broadway musicals to renowned band literature\, including Eliot Del Borgo’s moving setting of Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. This will be a musical exploration of the depths of darkness with music such as Washington composer Alex Shapiro’s Lights Out and the exuberant joy of light with Frank Ticheli’s Sun Dance. This evening will also debut the RCPA Singers with a performance of John Rutter’s The Gift of Each Day. \n\nArtistic Director Timothy V. Norris\, Jr. says: “It is my hope that this concert will serve as a reminder to you and our community that through music and support in unity\, out of darkness\, you are light — just as you are. And when you are able\, be that light for others. Let it Shine!”
