Tabor Bread

Our last performance for this year was at Tabor Bread on 12/5 Thursday night. You should visit this lovely bakery with a house mill and kiln. Their soup is a healing food. 

We had Maria Olaya on our team; she played beautiful South American guitar music for the audience. With our friends and the people who are supporting our music, we were blessed with a warmness that surrounded us.

A La Carte Noon Concert

Peter and LeeAnn performed as a duo "Zisa and McKenna" at Oregon State University in Corvallis on October 11th. The program - "Bach to the Future" - was a great hit. The opening overture began with an Bach invention and ended with Alexander Courage's Star Trek theme. They covered the music of Bach, Narvaez, Mozart, Piazzolla, Tedesco, Dettori, the Beatles, and Lady Gaga.

“I listened to Zisa’s performance at OSU yesterday and knew I was listening to a very good musician...of world class level...” J.M. Oregon State University

“Greatly enjoyed Zisa & McKenna engaging program...particularly the Piazzolla, who had a knack for writing music that works well with guitar and flute; it was great to hear some of his less familiar works.” J. S. Oregon State University

Walters Cultural Arts Center

We performed two hours of eclectic world music for a great audience at the Walters Cultural Arts Center in Hillsboro. They always have excellent oil painting exhibitions in their beautiful historic building. They must have nice art classes to take; this is good for Hillsboro's residences. 

Chamber Music on the Mountain

We attended a concert at the Crystal Chamber Hall in Camas, Washington. The concert hall was in the home of a nice couple who are music friend of another special couple we met in Portland. It was a pleasure to listen to the music of Telemann, Schubert, Mozart, Bulow and Britten performed by fine classical musicians. 

We went to Izakaya-Japanese tapas after coming back to Portland. The warm tasty food was a treat for the soul.  

Hillsboro Public Library

On August 23rd 2013, we performed at Hillsboro Public Library with its beautiful backdrop of natural scene with a pond and a walking path. We were welcomed by a enthusiastic audience; some of them were attendees from our previous concert in Tigard. The crescendo of the audience's applause throughout the program prompted us to play an encore. 

The library sells sesame donuts: it's a good place to visit and read books : )

"The Thousand Waves concert was the most well attended concert we had this summer. Our library patrons were captivated by the musical blend of the percussion, koto, flute, and Spanish guitar. Peter Zisa’s introduction to each piece added a nice educational component. I would definitely have them back! Again, thank you for sharing your wonderful music with our patrons."
