#SouthernOregonUniversity #JakeShimabukuro @SOUAshland @JakeShimabukuro
I first learned of Jake Shimabukuro back in 2013. The Ashland Independent Film Festival showed “Life on Four Strings” which I thought was excellent. I’ve wanted to see him ever since and finally received that opportunity last week in the Music Recital Hall on the campus of Southern Oregon University. (He has played at Britt a few times, but I haven’t been around when those concerts took place.)
A few years back monks from the Shaolin Temple in the Henan Province of China visited SOU to perform with the Huaxia Orchestra from the museum in Zhengzhou. Having visited the Shaolin Temple and the museum in Zhengzhou a few years before that, it was not a night I was going to miss.
Today’s photo is from their performance in the Music Recital Hall on the Southern Oregon University campus.

A video of Beatriz Abella and Amanda Light performing “Flower Duet” from “Lakme” by Leo Delibes:
Beatriz Abella
One of my students sang for her Junior Recital this past weekend. No, I don’t teach music or give voice lessons. (Those that have heard my voice should be laughing right now.) She is a double major and wants to become a CPA. I teach accounting and tax.
Beatriz has won a number of awards for her voice. She has been a part of several musical theater productions as well. She has also sung in Carnegie Hall–twice!
Today’s photo is a frame I extracted from a video I took at her recital. I didn’t take any stills, but since I was recording at 1080 pixels, the image isn’t too bad.
Here is a short video from her performance which I took on my Nikon D7000, with Nikkor 70-200mm VR II f/2.8 lens, and Sennheiser MKE 400 external mic.
If you’d like to watch and listen to her entire recital (in order) click here.
