"From Ordinary Things" | Portland Ovations

Three-time Grammy-nominated cellist Seth Parker Woods, Grammy-winning classical vocalist Ariadne Greif and acclaimed pianist Conor Hanick join musical forces for a powerful and genre-spanning collaboration that brings together some of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. The program weaves together music by Nina Simone, George Gershwin, and Maurice Ravel, alongside a new work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tania León, creating a vivid dialogue between classical, jazz, and American song traditions. With artistry that moves fluidly across genres and eras, this compelling collaboration highlights both the emotional depth and the expansive possibilities of modern chamber performance.
