Born in the Philippines, Lino Rivera has performed as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician and accompanist on three continents. He makes it his mission to advocate and premiere contemporary works; to explore and meet the artistic, creative, and technical challenges of piano transcriptions; and to discover and perform obscure solo piano repertoire throughout the ages. He played the North American Ballads of Frederic Rzewski superbly in September’s concert from Composers Inc. These are big pieces, requiring endurance and virtuosity, and yet they have an immediacy that really gets to an audience, based as they are on recognizable tunes. They are also brilliantly colorful and fiendishly pianistic. Rivera made them come alive in a half-hour of remarkable music-making. The concert featured an abundance of new American music, played to the hilt and rewarded with a nonstop standing ovation.The evening also features the Washington state premiere of Lux Aeterna (2024) by California composer and pianist Richard Cionco. Brought to you by KPTZ, this concert will also be simulcast on 91.9 FM. DAILY PROGRAMMING MONDAY <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/538e1bdd-7475-7a05-47aa-7f9d1a76fecf.jpg> THE JIM B. SHOW with host Jim B. Monday 9:30-11am Music for an ever-changing mood. Like the station, his playlist is authentic and eclectic, but it’s not all just about Jim B. anymore, so what should the Jim B.

BOXED CHOCOLATES with host The Briceman Monday 1-3pm Boxed Chocolates You never know what you're gonna get! The Briceman features music from every decade from the 1960s thru the 2020s. ROCKET SURGERY with host Charlie Bermant Monday 3-5pm Charlie Bermant performs Rocket Surgery every week, featuring rare and archival selections from the artists we all know and love. That is, unusual music from the usual suspects that provide the rest of the story – sort of like the Paul Harvey of the nonprofit radio community. This musical landscape is littered with surprises. TUESDAY NEAR AND FAR with host DJ Kani-Ma Tuesday 9:30-11am DJ Kani-ma spins Near and Far – featuring multi-cultural, folk, and ethnic music from around the world, local musicians, and musicians that have passed through our very own Port Townsend – many of whom she has seen perform live.

The story builds on family lore and deep research telling the life of a young girl in the early 20th Century, living in the hard scrabble desert of the American Southwest. The story flows with twists and turns, devastating yet hopeful and determined. It is full of rich sensory images and emotional and descriptive language. Too often in history the lives of the humble and especially the women are left untold. Teresa has remedied this oversight with a terrific book for everyone! RHYTHM CONNECTION with host Robert Ambrose Tuesday 1-3pm Rhythm Connection transports listeners to cultures around the world, through incredibly diverse music from the African diaspora. Since its 1993 inception in Alaska, Robert has presented fresh music every week to make you dance or bring you solace, or both.

DONN AT NIGHT with host Donn Trethewey Tuesday 6:30-8pm Donn At Night features pieces from Donn Trethewey’s collection of music — same as the old Cardboard Box program. <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/cf7ebf3f-5097-4655-756c-f0a4cac25976.jpg> JAZZ NOTES with host Bill Mercier Tuesday 8-10pm JUNE 17 This week we’ll hear from jazz greats like Thelonious Monk, Dexter Gordon, Ron Carter and many more.

This week on “What’s New?” we’ve got a live album that was recorded in 2005 but just released on Origin Records - James Moody 80 Years Young: Live at the Blue Note. We’ve got two extended cuts from that one. <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/fe3793aa-3be3-1ba8-4c80-30c0c990e8be.jpg> OUR TOWN with host Maryanne McNellis Alternating Tuesdays and repeats the following Sunday, both 12:30-1pm June 24 / 29 In these reprise airings, Maryanne interviews Samantha Harper, the county’s Director of Waste Management. She’s in charge of making sure the new Hadlock sewer system becomes a reality. Samantha estimates that by mid to late June we will have an operational sewer system at least for a small section of the territory. Existing septic systems will be “de-commissioned” and raw sewage will flow through the brand new treatment plant. This has major economic implications for the entire county. Zoning changes will allow development of many more commercial buildings and residential properties. Samantha (aka ’Sam’) believes the entire project will be up and running sometime in 2027. Maryanne also interviews Tyler Zwirtz, the owner of Type Townsend Studio, a rather unique shop in downtown PT that specializes in old typewriters and various antiques. Tyler was one of those kids who started collecting typewriters when he was about 10 years old. By the time he was in his early 20’s, he had seven storage lockers full of them strung across the country. He was living in Seattle and exploring the Northwest, and when he visited Port Townsend, he fell in love it. Tyler moved here without a job in sight, and stumbled onto the shop. Turns out the previous owner was planning to shut it down. He bought Type Townsend Studio and added his collection to the inventory. He’s now celebrating the successful studio’s one-year anniversary!

So sit back, enjoy, and lose yourself in the mystery of the Silk Road! June 17 & 20 Episode 75 We're in the town of Dunhuang, and we’ve just checked in to the Flying Asparagus Hotel, the watering hole of budget travelers. Since the hotel is right across the street from the bus station, it’s the place where travelers stop first. The bus station also has the only cheap transportation to the Mogao Caves east of town. The Caves are one of the greatest repositories of Buddhist art…. June 24 & 27 Episode 76 Now we’re 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang, just outside the Mogao Caves and their repository of Buddhist art. It all began in the second century BC when the Chinese chased the Huns out of the Gansu Corridor and made Dunhuang the western most outpost of their empire. Dunhuang was where the two main branches off the Silk road met, one from the central Asian kingdoms of the northwest, and the other from the northern Indian kingdoms to the southwest. The city grew rich from the trade that passed through its gates….
