DESCRIPTION:About the Show\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmerica has never had one sound. \
 nIt sings through anthem and blues\, through jazz clubs and concert halls\
 , through stride piano\, spirituals\, street songs\, opera\, celebration\,
  and reinvention. LIFT opens Olympia Symphony’s 2026/27 season\, Kaleido
 scope\, with a program where American sound rises from joy\, memory\, resi
 lience\, and hope.\nJessie Montgomery’s Banner asks what an anthem means
  in a country still becoming itself. Woven from The Star-Spangled Banner\,
  Lift Every Voice and Sing\, and other musical echoes\, it turns a familia
 r symbol into something larger\, more layered\, and alive with many voices
 . \nAt the heart of the concert\, guest artist Calder Failla joins the orc
 hestra for Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue\, where smoky jazz\, sweeping mel
 ody\, and symphonic ambition meet in one of the most recognizable openings
  in American music. Gershwin returns in Porgy and Bess: Catfish Row\, brin
 ging the opera’s Charleston sound world into rich orchestral color. Gers
 hwin’s insistence on an all-Black cast for Porgy and Bess helped create 
 major operatic opportunities for Black singers at a time when blackface st
 ill appeared on American stages. \nWynton Marsalis’s Blues Symphony expa
 nds the blues into a vast orchestral journey\, while James P. Johnson’s 
 Victory Stride closes the circle with the pulse and brilliance of Harlem s
 tride piano. \nInspired by artists who moved across genres to make room fo
 r their fullest voices\, LIFT celebrates music that refuses to stay in one
  lane. This is not one version of America. It is a kaleidoscope of voices\
 , each one lifting the next. \nProgram\nJessie MONTGOMERY: Banner\nWynton 
 MARSALIS: Blues Symphony (excerpts)\nGeorge GERSHWIN: Rhapsody in Blue\nGe

DESCRIPTION:About the Show\nFor more than three decades\, wildlife filmmak

 most people run from: grizzlies\, mountain lions\, tigers\, and other dang
 erous predators. In Among Wild Predators\, Casey takes us on a powerful vi

  own hearts as well. Through breathtaking encounters and deeply personal s

 hy\, and survival. \nCasey Anderson is an Emmy nominated filmmaker\, an ad
 venturer\, and a National Geographic explorer. He has spent the last three
  decades traveling the world\, capturing nature and wildlife through the c
 amera lens. Born and raised in Montana\, Anderson spent his childhood expl
 oring the vast wilderness that was his backyard and by the age of eighteen
 \, Casey was guiding wildlife filmmakers into remote locations to track an
 d film the most elusive wild animals. \nAt twenty-six\, Casey adopted an o
 rphaned baby grizzly bear which led him to co-found the Montana Grizzly En
 counter\, a sanctuary for grizzly bears saved from inhumane situations. As
  a television personality\, Casey has been seen on Nat Geo WILD\, BBC\, PB
 S\, Travel Channel\, Discovery Channel\, and has been a regular contributo
