An Earth Day concert on Sunday, April 22, will fill Dorothy
Ramon Learning Center’s Gathering Hall with a Celtic-inspired blend of voices
and musical instruments.
Lionheart, a quartet weaving a tapestry of music including
Celtic, world traditions, classical, pop, rock and originals, will perform “A
Concert for the Earth,” from 3-5 p.m. at the Center’s San Manuel Band of
Serrano Mission Indians Gathering Hall, 127 N. San Gorgonio, Banning.
The quartet led by Giselle L. Marciszewski presents a
sometimes driving, yet sometimes haunting soundscape, including acoustic 6-
& 12-string guitars, classical guitar, baritone and soprano vocals, oboe,
English horn, Irish pennywhistles, recorder, keyboard, double bass, electric
bass and percussion. Marciszewski describes the planned concert as, “A musical
journey through songs of traditions, of spirit, and of the mysteries all around
us – with an eye toward the beauty of this planet, our home, and with
intriguing inspiration (musical & otherwise) from the lands of the
Celts.”
Admission is $10. Fourth Sundays, a cross-cultural concert
series every fourth Sunday, benefits Dorothy Ramon Learning Center’s nonprofit
work to save and share Southern California’s Native American cultures,
languages, history, and traditional arts, according to organizers. Next on May
27 will be the smooth sounds of GG & The Jazzmasters.

Silver Sounds has performed at Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, The
Redlands Bowl, Redlands Market Night, local churches, malls and other
public locations. And now these wonderful musicians will be at Dorothy Ramon Learning Center's Gathering Hall, already well-known for its wonderful acoustics. Come enjoy the music!
About Silver Sounds Silver Sounds Flute Ensembles was founded in February 1993 by Jackie Aronowitz as a performing outlet for flute players. This ensemble gives its members the unique opportunity to play in ensembles other than bands or orchestras. Since its founding, the group has grown so that there are now two separate groups with different skill levels. There are no age limitations. Members of the “A” group have only been playing a few years, and are working on notes and tone, while the “B” group is for the more advanced student whose focus is more on style, musicality, and the performance of flute choir literature.
Deer hooves, seashells, turtle shells, gourds, and wooden
sticks all have something in common: They were used to make Native American
musical instruments.
Come learn all about Native American music in Dorothy Ramon
Learning Center’s Second Saturday Sidewalk Storytelling program this Saturday
(March 10) at the Center, corner of San Gorgonio Avenue and Hays Street in
Banning.
Flutemakers Marvin Yazzie (Navajo) and his wife, Jonette,
will host the family-friendly free event, which features Native American
stories, songs, crafts for kids and fun.
