The
roots of the Veselka dance tradition are buried deep in
the soil of the Russian Ukraine. Veselka Ukrainian Dance
Company celebrates those roots in performances at 11 am
and 2 pm in the Mother of God Ukrainian Church in Springfield.
Master dance teacher, Leo Piasta, a first generation Canadian-Ukrainian,
comes to Springfield each summer to provide a fine-tuned
edge to the dancers through an intensive three-week rehearsal
schedule. Ranging in age from 5 to 25, the 75 colorful
performers whirl and gyrate to complex choreography, including
the Hopak, the national dance of Ukraine known
for its male acrobatic solos and female fast-paced footwork.
See Saturday Calendar.
Bhagavan
Das, one of the generation of spiritual seekers who went
to India in the early 1960s, performs a kirtan
concert at Agate Hall. A style of music using call-and-response
vocals, kirtan takes the audience into a sublime
and harmonious state of hypnotic enjoyment. See Saturday
Calendar.
The
12th Annual Wine and Blues Festival at Secret House Vineyards
in Veneta features music by blues guitarist W.C. Clark,
Linda Hornbuckle, The Lloyd Jones Struggle and the Norman
Sylvester Band. Also included will be Eugene's fabulous
blues favorites, Bill Willie Bluz, playing the deep blues
of "Tell Me Why," "Mo Bettah Fo' Ya'" and "Ridabus." Come
check out the afternoon sun, the fermented grapes, and
all the blues you can handle. See Saturday Calendar.
