A Very Special Event

In addition to the usual nine concerts that comprise our 2022-2023 season, we have added a special event to thank and honor Rich Reif, well-known to all Placitas Artists Series participants, and the Placitas community for his volunteer work. Rich served PAS as an officer for 10 years, including as president for two 3-year terms, the second of which ended this summer. This special concert will be an “informance” featuring works by some of Reif’s favorite composers. It is organized and performed by Luke Gullickson, piano; along with David Felberg, violin; Jesse Tatum, flute; John Barney, spo- ken word; and will feature an original composition by Gullickson plus works by Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt, Meredith Monk, and John Adams. The concert will inform and delight audience members, while serving as a fundraiser to enhance an operating budget depleted by two years of pandemic austerity. The concert will be followed by a tapas and wine reception at a private home. Ticket sales for the after-concert reception are now closed. All ticket purchases include a $50 tax-deductible charitable donation. Ticket sales for the after-concert reception have now closed; concert tickets remain available through the morning of October 2nd.. If you are unable to join the concert, please consider the donation option to PAS in honor of Rich and in appreciation of his communitarian work.
