Described by Gramophone as "a superb, confident technician and an intelligent stylist, who doesn’t have to prove anything," guest pianist Chad R. Bowles will teach a Master Class to Portland State University piano students, and the public is invited to attend.
Bowles will also perform a free concert with the music of Schubert, Beethoven and Medtner as part of the Music @ Midday Series on Friday, November 6 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:05 p.m.
Learn more about Bowles, his concert program and the Master Class on the PSU Steinway Piano Series website.

Join OHS Reference Librarian James Scott for a workshop on doing a formal house history. When was your home built? Who constructed and/or designed it? How, if at all, has it changed over time? Who’s lived there? These are just a few of the many questions to be explored during this free class. From Sanborn maps to newspapers to photographs (both ground and aerial), Scott will speak to the many tools that OHS and the web can provide in building a full dossier of your home.
Workshop capacity is 25 so make sure to RSVP to [email protected]. The event will be held in the Reading Room in OHS’s research library; please check in with a visitor experience associate at the admissions desk to be directed to the library, located on the fourth floor. The workshop will begin promptly at 1pm, so please arrive early to ensure a good seat and the benefit of a full workshop.
