WORKSHOP: The World of Guitar!

I’ll demonstrate several different types of unusual guitars (7-string fingerstyle, electric guitar, hybrid guitar/bass, Indian) and show you some of the cool things that can be done that are out of the ordinary – playing multiple parts simultaneously, playing bass & guitar at same time (!), music from other cultures and more. We’ll show how ideas can cross over from one style to another or how they are similar or different.

The workshop will take place from 5:00-6:00, the performance at 7:00

SACRED MATTER, a Solo Exhibition by HUNG VIET NGUYEN

The exhibition showcase’s Nguyen’s highly textured painting technique, which imbues his landscapes and abstractions with a fantastical quality. All featured paintings are united by nature and interconnected by an exploration of the universal life forces that unite Spirit and Matter. The Sacred Landscapes series draws from the imaginary, playing in the realm of whimsy while being rooted in the artist’s reality. These paintings are playgrounds for the artist as complex compositions are built from swirling layers of paint, scrupulous fields of bold color, and playful forms. Nguyen notes that these paintings “reflect my inner self [and] many factors of myself which perhaps I can understand, or I can’t.” Going further than self-reflection, the artist’s weird and wondrous works embrace all that is known and all that is unknown.

About Hung Viet Nguyen:
Artist Hung Viet Nguyen was born in Saigon Vietnam in 1957. He studied Biology
at Science University, then transitioned to working as an illustrator, graphic artist
and designer after settling in the U.S. in 1982. He developed his artistry skills independently, studying many traditional Eastern and Western forms, media, and
techniques. Nguyen’s compels, labor intensive investigations of oil paint reveal a methodical mastery of textures. While portions of Nguyen’s work suggest the influence of many traditional art forms including woodblock prints, East Asian scroll paintings, ceramic art, mosaic, and stained glass, his ultimate expression of a contemporary pedigree.

The Gold Coast Concert Chorus (Elizabeth Helms, director) joins the Ventura College Chorus and Singers (Brent Wilson, director) for two performances of Maurice Duruflé's sublime Requiem. One of the most beautiful choral pieces ever written, the Requiem pairs flowing Gregorian chant with the lush, sumptuous harmonic language of 20th-century France. Duruflé's intensely personal take on the requiem mass remains his largest and most performed work. The piece will be paired with Jocelyn Hagen's Renaissance-inspired contemporary favorite, The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. Composed to honor da Vinci’s remarkable legacy on the 500th anniversary of his death in 2019, the work is set to text from his notebooks, which draw on themes of art, science, nature and technology.
