- Oregon Renaissance Band – "More Extreme Early Music" -
The Oregon Renaissance Band is a 10 to 14 member ensemble of accomplished musicians dedicated to performing and recording music of the Renaissance on faithful reproductions of historical instruments, many of which were built by the performers. Each instrument is introduced and played, demonstrating the smallest, largest, highest, lowest, and most curious sounds to spring from the Renaissance. Instruments such as violins, cittern, bandora, krummhorns, racketts, sackbutts, schreierpfeiffen, and many more make for a very lively evening!
The Oregon Renaissance Band has presented concerts and workshops since 1991 and has been featured on NPR's "Performance Today". The ensemble is directed by Philip Neuman and Gayle Neuman. Other members include Daphne Clifton, Kathryn Richer, Andy Harris, Polly Gibson, David Bryan, Lori Fitch, Hideki Yamaya, and Laura Zaerr.

The Community Music Center (CMC) is a Portland Parks & Recreation facility in partnership with an all-volunteer non-profit organization that raises money to help subsidize tuition fees at the school. It serves families across the Portland area and supports those with limited economic means by increasing access to music performances and educational opportunities. Benefit concerts such as this one support a need-based scholarship fund that enables students to follow their dreams in music.
