Artist reception and Bozeman Symphony Far Afield at the Elling House Arts & Humanities Center
The EHAHC’s September Artist-of-the-Month is Carleton McCambridge. Please join us for an artist reception on
Saturday, September 10th at 5:30pm.
McCambridge presents “People Who Bring Life to the Old West” in the Elling House Gallery for the month of September. Virginia City and Nevada City provide visitors and residents alike with many opportunities to re-live the past and learn about local history. In this exhibit, McCambridge has portrayed a number of people who volunteer at the Nevada City Museum, guests who attend the Virginia City Grand Victorian Balls and participants in the annual Shoshone-Bannock Pow Wow.
Carleton McCambridge’s life long dream is to paint and be recognized as a Western Artist. He is diversified in his subject matter from portraits and landscapes to still life and wildlife. Formal training for Carleton includes a degree in Art History from the University of Minnesota. He has attended oil painting classes at five premier art schools in the Minneapolis area. Carleton and his wife, Liz, reside both in Minneapolis and the mountains southwest of Bozeman, Montana, in a home he designed. He has participated in many exhibitions in both areas.
The Elling House Arts & Humanities Center is also pleased to present the Bozeman Symphony Far Afield group, the Bozeman Trail Chamber Players on
Sept 10th at 7pm, following our artist reception.
This season the Bozeman Trail Chamber Players features wind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, and French horn) with the dynamic addition of percussion. Drawing from a rich chamber music repertoire, the ensemble will present music ranging from the majesty of the High Baroque, to the playfulness of ragtime and original jazz-influenced works.
The Far Afield program, established in 1992, takes Bozeman Symphony chamber ensembles to rural communities to present free performances and share their musical perspectives. Far Afield enables the audience to see, hear and feel the music being created live instead of through the media of television or radio.
Both events are free and open to the public.
