Saintly and Earthly: Lino Rivera in Concert

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts PO Box 52 | 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA 98260 (map)

Come join Lino Rivera, concert pianist and music professor, to experience an evening of transcendent piano music. Lino was born in the Philippines and is known for engaging his audiences by bringing the pieces he plays to life through sharing his knowledge and interacting with the audience, breaking the formality of the concert experience. The program will include selections from the following: three ethereal pieces by Liszt - St. Dorothea, St. Francis of Paola Walking on the Waves, and Hymn to St. Cecelia; the improvisatory and cerebral music of Bach (Prelude and Fugue); the emotional, humorous, and down-to-earth music of Beethoven (Sonata Op. 31, No. 3), Schubert (Klavierstuecke), and Filipino composer Bernardino Custodio (Ritual Dance).

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
