LACF News:
The orchestras from Los Alamos High School (LAHS) and Los Alamos Middle School (LAMS) were treated recently to a virtual masterclass as well as a virtual performance by the San Francisco string quartet Del Sol.
LAHS alumnus Charlton Lee (Class of ‘83) founded the quartet, and their recent album, Kooch-e Khaman, is fifth on the Billboard Classical Charts.
“Our orchestras were inspired by live performances and masterclasses with Del Sol. This was made possible due to funding from the Paul A. and Susan E. Bombardt K-12 Music Education Endowment for Los Alamos Public Schools,” LAHS Orchestra Instructor Michelle Rosette said. “This energy infusion was so needed and welcomed.”

Two centuries of colonization in ‘Manahatta’
The past isn’t past at all in Mary Kathryn Nagle’s “Manahatta.” “Indeed,” she writes in a note at the top of her script, the past and present “are one and the same.”
The show, whose 2018 Oregon Shakespeare Festival production is streaming as an early entry in the theater’s digital and in-person hybrid season, takes place in both the 17th and 21st centuries.
