Each piece on tonight\u2019s program offers a different window into the American story, creating a musical journey that spans centuries, regions, and traditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lElKR nUod7 UkBxR ULmSm\" dir=\"auto\">We begin with the National Anthem, a symbol of unity and resilience whose familiar melody has accompanied generations through moments of challenge and triumph. From there, the program travels down the Mississippi River through Ferde Grof\u00e9\u2019s Mississippi Suite, a work that captures the river\u2019s mythic presence and the communities shaped by its waters. George Gershwin\u2019s Rhapsody in Blue propels us into the modern era with its groundbreaking fusion of classical form and jazz idioms\u2014a sound that helped define America\u2019s musical identity in the 20th century.\u00a0The concert then turns to the world of musical theater with selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019s <em>Oklahoma!<\/em>, a show that reimagined the American frontier with optimism, warmth, and unforgettable melodies. Aaron Copland\u2019s Hoe Down from <em>Rodeo, <\/em>his cowboy-inspired ballet<em>,\u00a0<\/em>continues that spirit, bursting with the rhythmic vitality and folk-inspired energy that have become synonymous with the American West.<\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-8y3my420\" class=\"lElKR nUod7 UkBxR ULmSm\" dir=\"auto\">The evening concludes with Florence Price\u2019s Symphony No. 1, a landmark achievement in American music. Blending classical tradition with the melodic contours and rhythmic language of African American musical heritage, Price\u2019s symphony stands as a powerful testament to the voices that have shaped\u2014and continue to shape\u2014the nation\u2019s cultural landscape. Together, these works form a tapestry of American sound: bold, diverse, imaginative, and deeply rooted in the stories of the people who built this country. As we honor 250 years of the United States, this concert invites listeners to reflect on the nation\u2019s past, celebrate its present, and look with hope toward its future.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?pottery-pinot&event_id=100796\">Pottery & Pinot<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">07-25-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">12-19-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    House of Clay at House of Clay, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?pottery-pinot&event_id=100796\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/07\/event-featured-pottery-pinot-1784230565-450x600.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 19 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 26 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 03 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"eli_expand-more-dates\"> + 11 more dates and times<\/span>                    <p class=\"eli_p eli_more-date eli_hidden\">                        <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 10 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 17 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 24 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 31 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 07 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 14 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 21 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 28 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 05 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 12 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 19 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_collapse-more-dates\">- less dates and times<\/span><\/p>                    \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        <div class=\"eli_information-right\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_button-container\">\n                    <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofclaykc.com\/pottery-and-pinot-night-byob-all-skill-levels\/\" class=\"eli_a eli_button eli_large\"><span class=\"eli_span\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p class=\"p1\">Join us Saturday evenings for Pottery & Pinot, a beginner-friendly pottery experience designed for adults (21+).

He managed to meet and record a collection of duets with 12 of the most admired guitarists in the American bluegrass\/folk genre including Norman Blake, Mike Marshall, Charles Sawtelle, John Jorgenson and David Grier. In 1989 Beppe Gambetta crossed the \u201cIron curtain\u201d to perform at the Porta Festival in Czeckoslovakia and sensed the revolutionary wave that in those days expressed itself also thorugh the music. In that occasion he started an important collaboration with American banjo master Tony Trischka. In the 1990s Gambetta started to tour on a regular basis with American guitar legend Dan Crary (in Europe and then in the US and Australia). Dan Crary was able to introduce him to the organizers of the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS, a major guitar event and home to important guitar contests. Gambetta's performances at Winfield opened the door to him becoming a regular part of the American Festival scene. In 1993 he met and collaborated with Gene Parsons, a former member of the legendary folk-rock band, The Byrds. Parsons performed on Gambetta's first solo American CD \u201cGood News From Home\u201d (1995) on the then preminent folk and Celtic label \u201cGreen Linnet\u201d. In this album, Gambetta started to blend his love for American Roots with elements of European tradition moving away from being known strictly as a hot bluegrass picker to create his own multi-national style. In the late 1990s he launched a project to research the forgotten music of the Italian String Virtuosi of the turn-of-the-century. He focused on reviving the music and re-building the instruments of legendary Genovese harp-guitarist Pasquale Taraffo (1887-1937). This work led to the recording of two CDs \u201cSerenata\u201d (1997) and \u201cTraversata\u201d (2001). He has continued his research along the path of musicians and emigrations including to date producing shows of Italian revival in Europe, US and Argentina. In 2001, Beppe Gambetta and his wife Federica Calvino Prina inaugurated \u201cBeppe Gambetta Acoustic Nights\u201d, a series of annual concerts that bring together different top-notch International musicians each year, planned around a special musical \u201ctheme\u201d. Held each spring at the 1000-seat Teatro Ivo Chiesa \u2013 Teatro Nazionale in Genova, Italy for three or four consecutive evenings, the performances have established themselves as one of the preeminent events in the European musical scene and are regularly broadcast by the Italian National Radio (RAI Radio 3). From 2002 to today, Beppe Gambetta focused his work mainly on his solo carreer, touring constantly and naturally and seamlessly joining the shores of the two continents, Europe and America, creating in spite of the interposed ocean a musical fusion where American roots music and Ligurian tradition, emigration songs and folk ballads, steel string guitars and vintage harp guitars not only co-exist but interact, weaving a deep dialog unaware of any rigid classification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On April 23, 2019 Beppe was awarded with the title of \u201cGenoa Ambassador To The World\u201d by the Genoa Mayor Marco Bucci for the following reason: \u201cBeppe Gambetta has built countless bridges between Genoa and the Americas, combining the rich culture of his hometown with the beauty of the American roots and adding in his compositions contemporary influences to the traditions he mastered. He has been a true Ambassador of the Genovese culture in all his studies, productions and performances\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For his 14th CD (Where The Wind Blows, Borealis Records, Canada 2020) Beppe Gambetta revealed himself to be not simply a master guitarist but also a new songwriter of great feeling, wisdom and maturity. \u201cWhere The Wind Blows\u201d is a collection of songs and tunes all written, arranged and performed by Beppe with the extraordinary collaboration of American bass player Rusty Holloway and percussionist Joe Bonadio. The CD title track \u201cDove Tia O Vento\u201d was a finalist in the \u201cBest Song\u201d Category at the Italian Awards Premio Tenco 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The 2024 new release Terra Madre (Mother Earth) is a musical key to open a world of tales and dreams related to the motherlands of infinite possible itineraries, and to the cries of pain and hope that rise from them. The record weaves together the experience and wisdoms of a fifty-year career, and the work is further enriched by the participation of internationally-renowned guests from different musical genres. \"Fathers\" of acoustic music such as American mandolin icon David Grisman, acoustic guitar pioneer Dan Crary, and celebrated bluegrass and Americana singer-songwriter Tim O'Brien lend their talents to the project. Different dimensions are added by the presence of New York avant-garde drummer\/percussionist Joe Bonadio, the versatile acoustic jazz harmonica player Howard Levy, and from the world of \"Newgrass\u201d Jam Bands, the hugely popular bassist, Travis Book.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1787759921561_498\" class=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beppegambetta.com\/\">www.beppegambetta.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.facebook.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/BeppeGambettamusic\">www.youtube.com\/BeppeGambettamusic<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.twitter.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.instagram.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a><\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\">Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?city-of-overland-park-fall-festival&event_id=93279\">City of Overland Park Fall Festival<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-25-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">09-26-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Overland Park, Kansas at Clocktower Plaza, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?city-of-overland-park-fall-festival&event_id=93279\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/02\/event-featured-city-of-overland-park-fall-festival-1771872953.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Fri, Sep 25 @ 4:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 26 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The Overland Park Fall Festival is a long-standing tradition that transforms the historic Downtown district into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly celebration of local culture.

Families are a primary focus, with a dedicated schedule of children\u2019s entertainment that often includes the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, interactive science demonstrations, and \"meet-and-greets\" with popular characters.<\/p>\n<p>To ease the congestion of the tens of thousands of visitors, the city typically provides a free shuttle service from nearby locations like Shawnee Mission West High School, ensuring the event remains an accessible, community-driven way to welcome the autumn season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday September 25, 2026 - 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday September 26, 2026 - 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Festivals & Special Events\" category=\"52_0\"> Festivals & Special Events<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Visual Art\" category=\"6_0\"> Visual Art<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?september-sounds&event_id=96116\">September Sounds<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-11-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">09-25-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at Leawood City Park, Leawood<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?september-sounds&event_id=96116\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/04\/event-featured-september-sounds-the-stolen-winnebagos-1776181501.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Fri, Sep 25 @ 6:30 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>This annual concert series takes place in September at Leawood City Park, by the Aquatic Center.

The Exhibition runs during the months of September & October. Why is State of the Arts the biggest exhibition on the Prairie Village Arts Council (PVAC) calendar? Several reasons stand out, including the exhibition's competition aspect. The PVAC receives hundreds of applications each year, guaranteeing a wide range of artistic styles and subject matter, all entered in hopes of winning the $1,000 Best in Show award. The juried competition also selects Merit awards worth $750 each. The turnout for this show is always strong, boosted in part by the chance to vote for the $250 People's Choice award. An important part of State of the Arts' appeal is its diversity, with stunning florals hanging near traditional depictions of Kansas City landmarks, feet away from daring landscapes, incisive portraits, and abstract pieces that provoke images and feelings in the mind of the viewer. The R.G. Endres Gallery, in Prairie Village City Hall, fills every year for this event, and this year's 20th Anniversary edition is likely to be the biggest ever, with \ud835\udfee\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\udfef\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\ude06, \ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude06\/\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2 artworks juried in from the area's finest artists. \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude04 \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfec\ud835\udfee\ud835\udff2: 1. the inclusion of photography and poetry\/prose 2. a theme: \ud835\ude4d\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68 \ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2: \ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde2\ud835\udddf\ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde7\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde1\ud835\udde6 For the first time (or at least in a long while) we have a THEME for State of the Arts.

Each piece on tonight\u2019s program offers a different window into the American story, creating a musical journey that spans centuries, regions, and traditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lElKR nUod7 UkBxR ULmSm\" dir=\"auto\">We begin with the National Anthem, a symbol of unity and resilience whose familiar melody has accompanied generations through moments of challenge and triumph. From there, the program travels down the Mississippi River through Ferde Grof\u00e9\u2019s Mississippi Suite, a work that captures the river\u2019s mythic presence and the communities shaped by its waters. George Gershwin\u2019s Rhapsody in Blue propels us into the modern era with its groundbreaking fusion of classical form and jazz idioms\u2014a sound that helped define America\u2019s musical identity in the 20th century.\u00a0The concert then turns to the world of musical theater with selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019s <em>Oklahoma!<\/em>, a show that reimagined the American frontier with optimism, warmth, and unforgettable melodies. Aaron Copland\u2019s Hoe Down from <em>Rodeo, <\/em>his cowboy-inspired ballet<em>,\u00a0<\/em>continues that spirit, bursting with the rhythmic vitality and folk-inspired energy that have become synonymous with the American West.<\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-8y3my420\" class=\"lElKR nUod7 UkBxR ULmSm\" dir=\"auto\">The evening concludes with Florence Price\u2019s Symphony No. 1, a landmark achievement in American music. Blending classical tradition with the melodic contours and rhythmic language of African American musical heritage, Price\u2019s symphony stands as a powerful testament to the voices that have shaped\u2014and continue to shape\u2014the nation\u2019s cultural landscape. Together, these works form a tapestry of American sound: bold, diverse, imaginative, and deeply rooted in the stories of the people who built this country. As we honor 250 years of the United States, this concert invites listeners to reflect on the nation\u2019s past, celebrate its present, and look with hope toward its future.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?pottery-pinot&event_id=100796\">Pottery & Pinot<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">07-25-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">12-19-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    House of Clay at House of Clay, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?pottery-pinot&event_id=100796\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/07\/event-featured-pottery-pinot-1784230565-450x600.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 19 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 26 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 03 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"eli_expand-more-dates\"> + 11 more dates and times<\/span>                    <p class=\"eli_p eli_more-date eli_hidden\">                        <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 10 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 17 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 24 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Oct 31 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 07 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 14 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 21 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Nov 28 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 05 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 12 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Dec 19 @ 6:00 pm<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_collapse-more-dates\">- less dates and times<\/span><\/p>                    \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        <div class=\"eli_information-right\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_button-container\">\n                    <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofclaykc.com\/pottery-and-pinot-night-byob-all-skill-levels\/\" class=\"eli_a eli_button eli_large\"><span class=\"eli_span\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p class=\"p1\">Join us Saturday evenings for Pottery & Pinot, a beginner-friendly pottery experience designed for adults (21+).

He managed to meet and record a collection of duets with 12 of the most admired guitarists in the American bluegrass\/folk genre including Norman Blake, Mike Marshall, Charles Sawtelle, John Jorgenson and David Grier. In 1989 Beppe Gambetta crossed the \u201cIron curtain\u201d to perform at the Porta Festival in Czeckoslovakia and sensed the revolutionary wave that in those days expressed itself also thorugh the music. In that occasion he started an important collaboration with American banjo master Tony Trischka. In the 1990s Gambetta started to tour on a regular basis with American guitar legend Dan Crary (in Europe and then in the US and Australia). Dan Crary was able to introduce him to the organizers of the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS, a major guitar event and home to important guitar contests. Gambetta's performances at Winfield opened the door to him becoming a regular part of the American Festival scene. In 1993 he met and collaborated with Gene Parsons, a former member of the legendary folk-rock band, The Byrds. Parsons performed on Gambetta's first solo American CD \u201cGood News From Home\u201d (1995) on the then preminent folk and Celtic label \u201cGreen Linnet\u201d. In this album, Gambetta started to blend his love for American Roots with elements of European tradition moving away from being known strictly as a hot bluegrass picker to create his own multi-national style. In the late 1990s he launched a project to research the forgotten music of the Italian String Virtuosi of the turn-of-the-century. He focused on reviving the music and re-building the instruments of legendary Genovese harp-guitarist Pasquale Taraffo (1887-1937). This work led to the recording of two CDs \u201cSerenata\u201d (1997) and \u201cTraversata\u201d (2001). He has continued his research along the path of musicians and emigrations including to date producing shows of Italian revival in Europe, US and Argentina. In 2001, Beppe Gambetta and his wife Federica Calvino Prina inaugurated \u201cBeppe Gambetta Acoustic Nights\u201d, a series of annual concerts that bring together different top-notch International musicians each year, planned around a special musical \u201ctheme\u201d. Held each spring at the 1000-seat Teatro Ivo Chiesa \u2013 Teatro Nazionale in Genova, Italy for three or four consecutive evenings, the performances have established themselves as one of the preeminent events in the European musical scene and are regularly broadcast by the Italian National Radio (RAI Radio 3). From 2002 to today, Beppe Gambetta focused his work mainly on his solo carreer, touring constantly and naturally and seamlessly joining the shores of the two continents, Europe and America, creating in spite of the interposed ocean a musical fusion where American roots music and Ligurian tradition, emigration songs and folk ballads, steel string guitars and vintage harp guitars not only co-exist but interact, weaving a deep dialog unaware of any rigid classification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On April 23, 2019 Beppe was awarded with the title of \u201cGenoa Ambassador To The World\u201d by the Genoa Mayor Marco Bucci for the following reason: \u201cBeppe Gambetta has built countless bridges between Genoa and the Americas, combining the rich culture of his hometown with the beauty of the American roots and adding in his compositions contemporary influences to the traditions he mastered. He has been a true Ambassador of the Genovese culture in all his studies, productions and performances\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For his 14th CD (Where The Wind Blows, Borealis Records, Canada 2020) Beppe Gambetta revealed himself to be not simply a master guitarist but also a new songwriter of great feeling, wisdom and maturity. \u201cWhere The Wind Blows\u201d is a collection of songs and tunes all written, arranged and performed by Beppe with the extraordinary collaboration of American bass player Rusty Holloway and percussionist Joe Bonadio. The CD title track \u201cDove Tia O Vento\u201d was a finalist in the \u201cBest Song\u201d Category at the Italian Awards Premio Tenco 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The 2024 new release Terra Madre (Mother Earth) is a musical key to open a world of tales and dreams related to the motherlands of infinite possible itineraries, and to the cries of pain and hope that rise from them. The record weaves together the experience and wisdoms of a fifty-year career, and the work is further enriched by the participation of internationally-renowned guests from different musical genres. \"Fathers\" of acoustic music such as American mandolin icon David Grisman, acoustic guitar pioneer Dan Crary, and celebrated bluegrass and Americana singer-songwriter Tim O'Brien lend their talents to the project. Different dimensions are added by the presence of New York avant-garde drummer\/percussionist Joe Bonadio, the versatile acoustic jazz harmonica player Howard Levy, and from the world of \"Newgrass\u201d Jam Bands, the hugely popular bassist, Travis Book.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1787759921561_498\" class=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beppegambetta.com\/\">www.beppegambetta.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.facebook.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/BeppeGambettamusic\">www.youtube.com\/BeppeGambettamusic<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.twitter.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/BeppeGambetta\">www.instagram.com\/BeppeGambetta<\/a><\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\">Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?city-of-overland-park-fall-festival&event_id=93279\">City of Overland Park Fall Festival<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-25-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">09-26-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Overland Park, Kansas at Clocktower Plaza, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?city-of-overland-park-fall-festival&event_id=93279\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/02\/event-featured-city-of-overland-park-fall-festival-1771872953.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Fri, Sep 25 @ 4:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 26 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The Overland Park Fall Festival is a long-standing tradition that transforms the historic Downtown district into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly celebration of local culture.

Spanning over Friday and Saturday during the last weekend in September, the event anchors its festivities around Thompson Park and along Santa Fe Drive, featuring an artisan fair with roughly 100 regional makers selling everything from handmade ceramics and jewelry to custom apparel. A major highlight is the integration of the nationally-ranked Overland Park Farmers\u2019 Market on Saturday morning, where attendees can shop for seasonal produce alongside a diverse lineup of food trucks offering festival staples like kettle corn, street tacos, and funnel cakes.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the shopping and food, the festival is a hub for live performance, utilizing multiple stages to host a mix of local bands, folk artists, and high-energy headliners. Families are a primary focus, with a dedicated schedule of children\u2019s entertainment that often includes the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, interactive science demonstrations, and \"meet-and-greets\" with popular characters.<\/p>\n<p>To ease the congestion of the tens of thousands of visitors, the city typically provides a free shuttle service from nearby locations like Shawnee Mission West High School, ensuring the event remains an accessible, community-driven way to welcome the autumn season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday September 25, 2026 - 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday September 26, 2026 - 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Festivals & Special Events\" category=\"52_0\"> Festivals & Special Events<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Visual Art\" category=\"6_0\"> Visual Art<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?september-sounds&event_id=96116\">September Sounds<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-11-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">09-25-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at Leawood City Park, Leawood<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?september-sounds&event_id=96116\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/04\/event-featured-september-sounds-the-stolen-winnebagos-1776181501.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Fri, Sep 25 @ 6:30 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>This annual concert series takes place in September at Leawood City Park, by the Aquatic Center.

The Exhibition runs during the months of September & October. Why is State of the Arts the biggest exhibition on the Prairie Village Arts Council (PVAC) calendar? Several reasons stand out, including the exhibition's competition aspect. The PVAC receives hundreds of applications each year, guaranteeing a wide range of artistic styles and subject matter, all entered in hopes of winning the $1,000 Best in Show award. The juried competition also selects Merit awards worth $750 each. The turnout for this show is always strong, boosted in part by the chance to vote for the $250 People's Choice award. An important part of State of the Arts' appeal is its diversity, with stunning florals hanging near traditional depictions of Kansas City landmarks, feet away from daring landscapes, incisive portraits, and abstract pieces that provoke images and feelings in the mind of the viewer.

The Exhibition runs during the months of September & October. Why is State of the Arts the biggest exhibition on the Prairie Village Arts Council (PVAC) calendar? Several reasons stand out, including the exhibition's competition aspect. The PVAC receives hundreds of applications each year, guaranteeing a wide range of artistic styles and subject matter, all entered in hopes of winning the $1,000 Best in Show award. The juried competition also selects Merit awards worth $750 each. The turnout for this show is always strong, boosted in part by the chance to vote for the $250 People's Choice award. An important part of State of the Arts' appeal is its diversity, with stunning florals hanging near traditional depictions of Kansas City landmarks, feet away from daring landscapes, incisive portraits, and abstract pieces that provoke images and feelings in the mind of the viewer.

Endres Gallery, in Prairie Village City Hall, fills every year for this event, and this year's 20th Anniversary edition is likely to be the biggest ever, with \ud835\udfee\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\udfef\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\ude06, \ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude06\/\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2 artworks juried in from the area's finest artists. \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude04 \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfec\ud835\udfee\ud835\udff2: 1. the inclusion of photography and poetry\/prose 2. a theme: \ud835\ude4d\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68 \ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2: \ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde2\ud835\udddf\ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde7\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde1\ud835\udde6 For the first time (or at least in a long while) we have a THEME for State of the Arts.
