On Saturday, Feb. 18, the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center will take on an era of nostalgia and mystery, when Miss Rose & Her Rhythm Percolators come to call.

Doors at the historic Delake School – built in 1931 — open at 6:30 p.m., with the jazz starting at 7 p.m.

Lincoln City Cultural Center was first known as The Lincoln City Arts Forum when established on August 10, 1992. It was renamed the “4C’s” (Coastal Communities Cultural Center), and received its Articles of Incorporation on December 20, 1996. The organization obtained Non-Profit altStatus as IRS 501(c)3 on October 14, 1997.

Six months later, in April of 1998, its first By-Laws were established and later revised in 2003. In September 2006, the 4C’s leased DeLake School from the city of Lincoln City; and adopted its new business name of Lincoln City Cultural Center in February 2007.

Since 1929, historic DeLake School has been a center for education for the children of Lincoln City. LCCC continues this tradition for ALL ages, offering classes in art, dance, music, literature, and theater. The Lincoln City Cultural Center also sponsors play writing contests, fund raisers, and activities to encourage artists of all ages.

Lincoln City Cultural Center needs board members to help guide the direction of the Cultural Center which supports the arts in the central Oregon coast. In addition to arts and cultural interests, they need guidance in finance, fundraising, community outreach that are critical to continued growth.

Volunteer opportunities abound at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The Center is seeking interested individuals to mind the galleries, assist in receptions, archive center activities, participate in committees, and guide visitors.

Jazz at Newport’s eighth year has come and gone. The event brought world-class jazz to the central Oregon coast in the “jazz party” format, which means that the visiting musicians appeared in different combinations at different times, known as “sets,” over the course of the festival. The performances took place at the Newport Performing Arts Center and the Shilo Inn Suites Hotel in Newport, Oregon.

Ocean18 has been filming the festival since its inception. Check out the latest videos at the Jazz at Newport – You Tube site. We are basically working in reverse chronology to produce and edit select performances that have taken place over the years.

Eight sets occurring over three days showcase the extraordinary versatility of these musicians. The festival’s “Opening Night” Set 1 powerhouse on Friday, Set 5′s “Super Saturday Night” and Set. 8′s “The Wrap Session” on Sunday give many opportunities to see various combinations of world-class jazz musicians. An all-artist jam session, at the end of Set 8, brings the festival to a rousing close.

The festival’s focus has always been to present world-class jazz in a beautiful coastal setting — and this year is no different: Music Director Holly Hofmann has put together a roster of such jazz lights as Monty Alexander, Hassan Shakur, Anat Cohen, Howard Alden, Jeff Hamilton Trio, Kristin Korb, Lewis Nash, Weber Iago, Terell Stafford, and Mike Wofford, to name just a few. David Captein, Tamir Hendelman, Mike Horsfall, Christoph Luty, the Weber Iago/David Valdez Chamber Jazz Project and Portland’s PDX Jazz Quintet round out the roster.

Support for Jazz at Newport is provided by the City of Newport and festival sponsor Rev. Carol Stubbs Smith, as well as 2011 Jazz Club members Anonymous, Larry & MaryAnn Beggs, Cathleen Donnellan & Gil Sylvia, Jim & Sue Douglas, Ernie Drapela, Laurel Freed, Frank & Michelle Geltner, Jim & Judy Hamblin, Jeannette Hofer, Ramona Martin, James & Jean Morrison, Kay Moxness, Twylah Olson, Nancy Jane Reid & Peter Lawson, Greg & Sheila Sammons, Vern Schervem, Doug & Sue Wills and Barry & Phyllis Winters. OCCA is also grateful for the support of the 2011 Jazz Hotels, which include Hallmark Inns & Resort, La Quinta Inn & Suites, the Shilo Inn Suites Hotel, and the Whaler Motel; and thanks the many jazz patrons who also contribute to the festival.
