Cherry Blossom Visual Music: Home

Welcome To Cherry Blossom Musical Arts, featuring our show Visual Music, where Art Music meets dance, juggling and mayhem- vaudeville style!

We're happy to announce that Visual Music 2008 will grace the stages this year at both the Oregon Country Fair on July 11-13, and The Oregon Shakespeare Festival on August 12 and 13 as a part of the Green Show!

Visual Music 2008 is about artists coming together. Our Country Fair show will be a celebration of the music, voice, and the moving body, and includes collaboration with

- Bianca Sapetto- aerialist and choreographer with Teatro ZinZanni in SanFrancisco and Seattle, and former performer with Cirque Du Soleil!

- Agnieszka Laska Dancers, who have performed in Mexico and Europe,

-Dream Science Circus- aerial artists with theatrical flair!

-Roger Fountain- The fuggling Jool!

-Alli Bach- Taps Zappa like you've never even imagined!

Also featuring the unforgettable Izzy Whetstine, the harmonious vocal magic of Paul Safar and Nancy Wood and more new music played by our 8 piece mini-orchestra featuring Ben Farrell on clarinet!

See the calendar for show times!
