Poetry had been an important part of Kevin Lay's life as long as music had. "All my life I've written poetry," the Scappoose composer told ArtsWatch.
Lay became president of Cascadia Composers and decided to marry two of his artistic passions, asking Stafford if he might be interested in participating in a concert of his poetry set to music.
The result: Saturday's concert punningly titled Fearless Lieder, featuring the words of Stafford, Elizabeth Woody, Paulann Petersen, and Lawson Inada, accompanied by original music from Cascadia Composers.
It's a precious opportunity to experience our region's beauty through the dual lenses of words and music.
