CCAH is excited and proud to announce a benefit concert by Robin Sutherland, pianist for the San Francisco Symphony, on August 20th, in the Round Room at the Third Street Center. A reception will follow the concert in the CCAH Center for the Arts.
Robin studied with Rosina Lhevinne at the Juilliard School and with Paul Hersh at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. While still an undergraduate, he was appointed principal pianist of the San Francisco Symphony by Seiji Ozawa.
A frequent soloist with the Orchestra, he has been featured in Leonard Bernstein’s Age of Anxiety with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting, in San Francisco and on tour, and last May he was featured in Martin’s Petite Symphonie concertante.
An avid chamber musician, he is co-director of the Telluride Players and a regular performer at the Bay Chamber Concerts in Rockport, Maine. Many composers have dedicated works to him, and among the world premieres in which he has participated was that of John Adams’s Grand Pianola Music, with members of the SFS.
Robin has long been a friend of CCAH and we are thrilled beyond words that we are able to once again delight in his music and share it with our friends. Tickets are $60 and can be reserved by calling 963-1680.

Pam Houston is the author of two collections of linked short stories, Cowboys Are My Weakness (W. W. Norton), and Waltzing the Cat (W. W. Norton). Her stories have been selected for the Best American Short Stories, the O. Henry Awards, the Pushcart Prize, and the Best American Short Stories of the Century.
As Pam states about the workshop, “My goal as workshop leader is to create an environment where beginning and seasoned writers become excited about taking both stylistic and emotional risks with their work. We will spend Saturday and Sunday morning working on exercises that will set the theme for the weekend: the way the physical landscape of a story can stand in for and represent the emotional landscapes we are driven to describe. We will learn to trust the way the physical world gives us the tools (and, incidentally, the courage) to tell our most profound truths, and to write stories that will move our readers by activating not just their minds but their senses. We will be aiming for stories in which the language is always working in at least two ways at once, where metaphors dance between meanings like beads of water on a too hot grill.
On Sunday afternoon we will have an opportunity to look at manuscripts that writers have submitted in advance(1-10 pages), though a manuscript is not a requirement to join this class. Those who do submit manuscripts will have their worked critiqued, and those who don’t have anything in advance will learn much about critiquing their own work by getting involved in the manuscript specific discussion.
Remember that writing is hard, painful, isolating, rewarding, joyful, necessary. We come together to give each other support, to feel the community we sometimes can’t feel when we sit down at our computers and get ready to open our veins. Come to class with a conscious mind and an open heart. Be ready to reach into yourselves in ways you might never have before. If you didn’t secretly want to, you’d never have picked up a pen in the first place.”
Only 15 students will be admitted. The cost is $145 for CCAH members and $175 for nonmembers. Spaces are filling fast so call CCAH today – 970.963.1680

July 2nd
R2 Gallery, 6pm – 8pm
First Friday in July is an exciting event for CCAH. The exhibit at the CCAH Center for the Arts will be the exquisite paintings by Andy Taylor, a well-known painter and long time local favorite. Andy was an early board member of CCAH and a long time supporter. “I believe it is fitting that Andy is really our inaugural show,” says Ro Mead, director of CCAH. “I can’t wait to see our new gallery filled with Andy’s work. It’s another dream come true.” The opening reception will be on July 2nd, from 6 to 8 pm at the new CCAH Center for the Arts at the Third Street Center, 520 South 3rd, #9.
Andy Taylor has lived and painted in Western Colorado for the past 20 years. Most of his beautiful landscapes feature expansive views from the Colorado Plateau, and others feature more intimate small scenes. Originating from plein air sketches, Andy’s paintings create a sense of place, while exploring color, form, and rhythm. The artist mixes a representational style with a remarkable ability to also show what he is feeling. Andy shows at the Ann Korologos Gallery in Basalt.
The artwork will be on display at the CCAH Center for the Arts during the month of July.
