Skip to Content Search Cal Poly News News California Polytechnic State University March 8, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LISA WOSKE (805) 756-7110 George Winston Performs in Solo Concert March 28 at the Cohan Center SAN LUIS OBISPO – Solo pianist George Winston will perform an acoustic evening of classic and original music on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 8 p.m. in the Christopher Cohan Center. Cal Poly Arts presents the return engagement of George Winston, whose signature sound and sweeping melodic stylings have inspired countless fans worldwide. Showcased in the encore performance will be selections from his latest chart-topping CD, “Montana – A Love Story.” “With ‘Montana – A Love Story,’ I have completed a circle, re-visiting the memories of my upbringing in Montana and combining three influences - the changing of the seasons, the different topographies, and secondarily, sociological influences - all coming full circle with my present relationship with Montana," explains Winston. “I play mainly interpretations of North American songs as well as some of my own compositions on solo piano, solo guitar, and harmonica.” George Winston grew up in Montana. His favorite music was instrumental rock and R&B, jazz, blues and rock and roll (e.g. The Doors.) Winston began playing organ in 1967 and in 1971, he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recordings from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas “Fats” Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to stride piano, Winston began working on his own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano, putting together songs of his own and arranging other pieces.

    THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FESTIVAL SPONSORS Presenting Sponsor Producers Circle Design Sponsor Applauders Circle Sponsors Circle Media Partners Welcome to the 44th Ann Arbor Folk Festival This year The Ark presents an Ann Arbor Folk Festival like no other: a musical feast delivered to you at home, wherever that happens to be. In 2020 we counted ourselves lucky to have presented the Ann Arbor Folk Festival before Covid-19 arrived and changed the landscape so completely. This year, with venues shuttered and tours canceled, we’re thrilled to be able to present the Folk Festival at all. We’re deeply grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Ford Motor Company Fund, and to all of our corporate partners for making this virtual production possible. And this year’s artists? We can’t thank them enough for bringing all this music to us at a time when we need it most. Although we miss being together in person, the virtual format does have some advantages: the 44th Ann Arbor Folk Festival is packed with nearly twice the number of artists we’re usually able to present. Featuring some of our closest Ark Family as well as a few artists we’re just getting to know, this year’s Folk Fest promises to be one for the ages. Another advantage to the virtual format: you can enjoy the program for a full week following the initial broadcast. In addition to showcasing some of the finest folk- and roots-based artists playing today, the Ann Arbor Folk Festival is The Ark’s largest annual fundraising event, typically supporting our presentation of over 300 shows each year in the 400-seat Ford Listening Room at The Ark.
  • Roots Report: Help Animals Musically

    Roots Report: Help Animals Musically

    Roots Report: Help Animals Musically Okee dokee folks… You may already know that I am a HUGE animal person. A couple of years ago I wrote about the fledgling that I found and had to babysit through the night to keep it alive. The happy ending of that story is it survived the night and in the morning I turned that little chick over to a volunteer from Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island (WRARI). Those folks help thousands of critters annually. They are a mostly volunteer organization that relies on public support to operate. The number of animals that they care for each year has been steadily rising. The increase reflects a greater demand for their services and shows that Rhode Islanders are more sensitive than ever to the needs of native wildlife. WRARI is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that provides professional care for injured, orphaned or sick wildlife in Rhode Island and is the only organization licensed to rehabilitate the state’s wildlife. So, besides personal reasons, you may wonder why I am including this in my column. Well, every year I attend an event called Wildstock at Jacky’s Galaxy in Bristol. I look forward to this show not only because it is fundraiser for Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island, but also because it is a fun event with great MUSIC. See, you knew there had to be a musical connection! This year the Thirteenth Annual Halloween Wildstock Benefit Concert will again take place at Jacky’s Galaxie on Saturday, October 29. Musical entertainment will be provided by Trinity, Rendition, Repercussions, Band of Brothers and Crushed Velvet.

  • Concepts for Booklet

    Concepts for Booklet

    I have been asked why I chose to record albums of the seasons over the years. The inspiration that runs through all the songs that I compose or interpret by other composers comes from the cycle of the seasons and the Earth’s topographies, especially the great plains of eastern Montana where I grew up. I am also always envisioning my Muse, friends, and the thought of a person alone in the setting of the song. I consider that I have three time periods in which I have recorded solo piano albums: The first one was 1971-1972, just after I switched from organ to solo piano and recorded my first album BALLADS AND BLUES 1972 for the late great John Fahey’s Takoma Label.. My second recording period was 1980-1982, when I recorded the albums AUTUMN (1980), WINTER INTO SPRING (1982), and DECEMBER (1982). It was in 1973 that my concept of having specific themes for albums and concerts began to manifest. AUTUMN was very inspired by eastern Montana, especially the Miles City area, and by Autumn itself. WINTER INTO SPRING has a lot of Montana in it, as well as inspiration from the beautiful Mississippi springtime, where my family lived after moving from Montana. The third time period is 1991 to the present. In 1991 I recorded the album SUMMER, which was again very inspired by Montana, particularly the eastern and central parts of the state, as well as by the work of the great Montana pianist and composer Philip Aaberg. The version of SUMMER included in this box set includes a bonus track, Old Friends.
