The Story of Music, Stories from Home
Saturday, March 13th from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM
at The Senior Center in Driggs City Center
FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Internationally acclaimed musician Lauren Pelon and poet and essayist Gary Holthaus team up to offer a unique new program called “Story of Music, Stories from Home". Pelon plays a variety of instruments ranging from lute, guitar, and free reeds, to recorders, gemshorn, and electronic instruments. Holthaus reads from his work and that of others. Both the music and the readings offer unique perceptions of the natural world, and celebrate our sense of place, community, and home.
Lauren Pelon has performed throughout the U.S. and in China, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia, and New Zealand. She is noted for her versatile use of such a diverse array of instruments, but Pelon has also won recognition for her lovely soprano voice, and for her compelling compositions and arrangements of music from many countries and cultures.
Holthaus has been involved in issues of social justice for 40 years. He has four books of poems, three chapbooks, and three collections of essays, all of them rooted in the earth. His most recent book is titled "Learning Native Wisdom: What Traditional Cultures Teach Us about Subsistence, Sustainability, and Spirituality", published by the University Press of Kentucky in 2008. His most recent book of poems is called "Circling Back." Holthaus’s poems have been published in the U.S., Egypt, and Iraq (in Arabic).
This program is funded in part by Idaho Humanities Council, a state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and sponsored by Teton Arts Council.

Pin-Ups, Sticking it to Breast Cancer

New Art Center
The Teton Arts council is working hard to create an arts center in downtown Driggs. A central location with easy access for children and adults will help us to better serve the community. We anticipate that this center will be a thriving cultural hub that offers artistic education and opportunity to all valley residents. Please help us design this center by taking this quick survey. Your feedback is very valuable to us.
