Before the Internet! Before television! The small orchestras of radio shows and vaudeville stages performed music from the golden days of steamer trunks, wicker chairs, potted palms, and all-night soirees. Five communities in Wyoming will honor America’s 250th birthday with a concert by Portable Masterpieces, a salon orchestra of 9 musicians from Casper, WY. The ensemble has toured vintage opera houses and theaters across the western United States and will perform a selection of American music from Bix Beiderbecke to Irving Berlin, and Woody Guthrie to Zez Confrey with some expected patriotic favorites. “Celebrate America!” is part of the America250 project proposed by the federal government to recognize and celebrate the music, musicians, and composers of America. “Portable Masterpieces is delighted to be presenting this program to Wyoming audiences,” said Steven Trinkle, co-founder and trumpeter with the ensemble. “Touring the state and performing concerts connects us as communities and tells the great stories of our American heritage.” The program is supported through the generosity of local patrons in the community, an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and grants from the Wyoming Arts Council and Sheridan Arts Council.
