Put composer/conductor Brian Holman (pictured here with Kaz) together with Steve Cook (Oracle Piano Society), Sharon Holnback (Triangle L), and Oracle Historical Society leaders (John Hernandez, Cinnamon Schiek, Kevin Armbrust), Damien Clinco (Arizona Historical Society) and what do you get? A remarkable co-mingling of talent and energy that produced a multi-media production for the ages right in our own back yard.
If there's such a thing as a classic Oracle creative collaboration, back-to-back performances of "The Mine with the Iron Door" at the Triangle L and OrCA, accompanied by a talented ensemble of young musicians, gave exhilirating life to Holman's score (with Steve Cook on the weather machine, of course).

Both performances were excellent and pleased everyone. Starting from a discussion of the films 100th anniversary and trying to obtain the 1 of 2 copies of the film from France, it appeared to be a steep uphill battle. Sharon's work in creating the Triangle L Ranch outdoor performance was wonderful. Stephen's preparation of ORCA and the live music with Brian's original music score was inspirational. Behind the scenes was the grant work of Cinnamon and the speaking engagements and motivation to bring this together by Johnny H. As always, there are a lot of volunteers involved for support and work at all locations. Thanks to everyone for coming and making this such a success.

AuthorKaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979. The house we bought dated to the late 1940s. With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family. Categories
