Oct 2nd: The Magic Leaky Canoe / Sculpture / History / House Concert

Todji Kurtzman Sculpture Presents: THE MAGIC LEAKY CANOE with Wasco Medicine Chief Ken Smith; House Concert by POCKET

Join us for a magical evening of sculpture, live music, a children’s story, and learning about the local history of the Ancestral Native American Ferry system as told by 92 year old Wasco Medicine Chief Ken Smith; who is one of the last speakers of 7 local Indigenous dialects. Internationally known sculptor and host Todji Kurtzman will talk about his bronze sculpture public art proposal for Boones Ferry Park to honor the ancestral Native American Ferries that operated before the Boones Ferry was founded. The promotional image for this event is Todji’s sculpture design which is part of an original children’s story: www.Todji.com

David Dvorin, composer, guitarist and professor of music at California State University, Chico (and Todji’s friend from high school) is on tour with his band Pocket, and will open the event with a house concert. Stylistically, Pocket combines the freewheeling groove and grit of mid-century blues and jazz with original compositions and instrumentation that sounds like a mix of Howling Wolf, Thelonious Monk, NRBQ, and Bill Frisell. Joining Dvorin will be instrumentalists Randy McKean on contra-alto clarinet, Tim Bulkley on drums, and Matt Langley on soprano and tenor saxophone.
Located in Corbett in the Columbia River Gorge, Thursday Oct 2nd, 6:30 – 9:30 PM. House Concert starts at 7PM. BYOB, Potluck. We have limited chairs, if you can, please bring a portable chair, pillow or back jack to sit on. Native American Friends and Children free.

We look forward to sharing this unique historical and artistic event with you!

President’s Message – Sept. 2025

I love fall. The shapes and colors of a changing season. The relief of cooler nights. The energy of kids at bus stops, backpacks nearly toppling over the smallest children. The sense of a changing – molting? – world gets me every time. And in the fall particularly a sense of melancholy slips in behind […]
