Portland Conservatory of Music with Violinist Sylvia Schwartz & Lute Player Timothy Burris
2023-06-13 19:00 - 20:00 | ME
The Cedars is pleased to welcome back Portland Conservatory of Music with musicians Sylvia Schwartz(violin) & Timothy Burris (Lute/Theorbo) for an evening concert at The Atrium.

Deeply inspired by the relationship between music, movement, and dance, violinist and teacher Sylvia Schwartz is a passionate chamber musician in both modern and historical performance practices. The power of music to heal and to bring us together drives Sylvia to teach through the Suzuki method and to perform wherever she can, from Shostakovich Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia—and many places in between.

Timothy Burris has performed throughout Europe and the US, both as a soloist and an accompanist. He has appeared in concert with such esteemed artists as the mezzo Jennifer Lane and the keyboardist Robert Hill, as well as under the baton of Peter Schreier and René Clemencic, among others. In a review of The Songs of Philip Rosseter, Part II, The Lute Society Magazine said of his skills as an accompanist: “Burris … plays with beautiful tone and is an absolutely first-class.”

Dean's Sweets Pop Up Shop at The Atrium
2023-10-26 13:00 | ME
Join us for a pop up shopping event at The Atrium with local favorite Dean’s Sweets!
When they started making truffles in their home kitchen in 2004, Dean and Kristin Bingham’s family and friends loved their sweets so much, they recommended they start a business and so they did. Many years after opening their first shop, their kitchen has gotten a bit bigger (it’s a commercial kitchen-with lots of fun gadgets) and they have expanded to two locations in Portland. One thing that remains the same, is the commitment to making handcrafted sweets using only the best ingredients. Chocolate making is more than a business. It’s an art.
Please RSVP to Janine Fifield, Marketing Coordinator at 207-221-7036 or jfifield@thecedarsportland.org

The Honey Exchange Pop Up Shop at The Atrium
2023-10-27 11:00 - 13:00 | ME
Join us for a pop up shopping event at The Atrium with The Honey Exchange.
The Honey Exchange is a family business. Phil and Meghan Gaven and daughters Maura and Caitlin opened the store in the summer of 2011.
It all started with keeping a single hive in 2008 on a whim. Over the next several years their enthusiasm grew as they mentored new beekeepers, did presentations at local schools, took classes and kept reading about and studying honeybees.
The Gavens wanted to have a store that expressed their admiration for everything honeybees do for the planet. They are a central place where beekeepers can extract their honey conveniently, and buy the equipment they need for their apiaries. At the same time they recognize that managing a hive of bees isn’t for everyone.The store gives everyone an opportunity to learn about honeybees, safely see the workings of the bees in their observation hive, and support local beekeepers who sell their honey and beeswax products.

Come join us for some local shopping and see what all the buzz is about!
