Jazz duo bring INHOUSE to Siletz

INHOUSE Jazz will continue its season with a concert featuring renowned jazz pianist Gordon Lee and violinist Michelle Alany at a private home in Siletz this Sunday, Sept 7.

Lee is best known for his jazz performances and compositions, but is also active in many styles of music, with commissions to compose for Oregon Symphony members, the Amadei String Quartet and big bands. He has performed with the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra and the Oregon Symphony and was a guest lecturer and performer in China in 2007, 2015 and 2016.

Alany is an internationally touring violinist and vocalist, a dynamic performer and an ambassador of world folk traditions. She specializes in soulful Sephardic, Mediterranean and Eastern European-inspired music, as well as original music drawing on rich folk and classical traditions. The two recently took the stage as a part of the Siletz Bay Music Festival in a Jim Pepper Tribute, where Lee led an ensemble performing highlights from Pepper’s unique musical legacy.

The INHOUSE Jazz atmosphere is informal, providing an opportunity for audiences to enjoy an intimate concert free from the noise and distractions often associated with a restaurant or bar. There is no charge for these sessions, but a donation of $15 to $30 is suggested to compensate musicians. Funds collected beyond expenses are donated to support local arts and education. Guests are welcome to bring beverages and potluck treats.

Sunday’s concert is from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. To attend and receive the address, call Annie Averre at 360-606-7136.
