Trio Deloria (Andrew Ehrlich, Yankl Falk, and Ethan Chessin) presents an exciting program of Klezmer and Yiddish song, Romanian and Hungarian fiddle virtuosity, devotional Hasidic melody, and much more. Although the trio’s name is new, they have been performing together for over 20 years under other names (including a previous visit to Astoria in 2014). Their deep friendship is reflected in their energetic musical collaborations. Trio Deloria is grateful to the Larsen Center for this opportunity to return to Astoria with an exciting new program.
For more than 40 years, Jack “Yankl” Falk (vocals/clarinet) has been at the center of Yiddish cultural life in Portland and beyond. His repertoire and performance reflects his long involvement with Hungary’s premier Yiddish ensemble, Di Naye Kapelye, with whom he recorded three acclaimed CDs of Carpathian Jewish roots music and performed at festivals across Europe.
Yankl leads the Portland-based klezmer/groove quintet The Carpathian-Pacific Express, which features some of Portland’s leading musicians. His other collaborations have included work with Don Byron’s Music of Mickey Katz, Polka Madre (Mexico City), Di Fidl- Kapelye (Amsterdam), Yale Strom, the Tone Sharks, accordionist Christina Crowder, and cellist Lori Goldston. For more than 30 years, Yankl produced and hosted the Sunday morning Yiddish Hour on Portland radio. A traditional singer of Jewish liturgy, Yankl was featured in a 2013 New York Times article about itinerant High Holiday cantors.
Andrew Ehrlich (violin) is a longtime klezmer and co-founder of his own band, Hora Tzigane, with Martin Morgenbesser. He also performs as a member of the Carpathian- Pacific Express and is the leader of Dr. Ehrlich and the Magic Bullets. Andrew has served as concertmaster of the Portland Chamber Orchestra and the Portland Columbia Symphony. He is a former member of the group “fEAR no MUSIC” and continues to play chamber music in recital. Andrew recently premiered the violin concerto “Prayers and Dances” by Jason Heald based on Jewish themes. He is on the faculty of the Community Music Center in Portland, where he teaches violin and conducts the Adult String Orchestra.
Ethan Chessin (trombone/piano/accordion/voice) teaches choir, songwriting, and music production at Camas High School. Over the last twelve years, his students have premiered over one hundred new pieces of music, written by students and alumni as well as nationally renowned musicians. His expertise in producing major collaborative premieres have earned invitations for his choirs to record and perform alongside Portugal. The Man, Stanley Jordan, Y La Bamba, Girls In Trouble, AU, Michael Allen Harrison, Bright Moments, Kingdom Sound, Trio Tsuica, Carpathian-Pacific Express, and many others. Ethan is a 2023 Country Music Association (CMA) Music Teacher of Excellence, was awarded the first Give A Note Foundation nationwide Music Educator Innovator Award, and has been recognized regionally as a Washington Teacher of the Year Finalist, Southwest Washington Teacher of the Year, and Camas High School Teacher of the Year. Prior to his teaching career, while playing trombone with the MarchFourth Marching Band he performed alongside Pink Martini, opened for Gwen Stefani, and was featured on the soundtrack of the Pixar film “Monsters University”.

SoulCollage is a process for creating incredible collaged cards with deep personal meaning that will help you with life’s questions and transitions. The process is often used as a method of self-discovery and transformation.
First, you will be guided through the intuitive process of making your own SoulCollage® cards. Then we will gather in small groups and learn how to read the cards by giving voice to the images. This is where the process which begins as simple creative fun, might surprise you.
This is a multi-layered creative process that anyone can do. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend!
Carolyn Greenwood has been a Certified SoulCollage Facilitator since 2015
This will be a hybrid event: The talk will be offered in person at the library and online through the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
“Under the Henfluence” blends Danovich’s personal experience as an obsessed chicken keeper with her animal welfare reporting. While she offers a sobering picture of the cruel treatment inherent in the industrial agriculture approach to chicken farming, Danovich also recounts her initial chicken-keeping efforts in charming, often-funny and sometimes heart-breaking detail, as she welcomes her first four, fuzzy chicks.
The lives of these quirky and mysterious birds are told through interviews with the people breeding, training, healing and adoring chickens. Perhaps most endearing are her interviews with people who own and interact with chickens as they groom them as show animals, raise them as 4-H projects, use them as therapy animals or rescue them from inhumane treatment.
What emerges is an entertaining picture of an animal that is too-often overlooked and under-appreciated, and the people who are devoted to them.
Danovich is a freelance journalist and culture reporter who has written for the New York
Times, the Washington Post, and many others. She lives outside Portland, where she
keeps eight chickens.
Danovich’s talk is sponsored by the library’s NW Authors Series Committee that hosts authors monthly from September through May. The committee also conducts the Writers Read Celebration, which offers local writers an opportunity to write and read their own work on a specific theme. This year, the Writers Read Celebration is March 22, in the library and on Zoom. The theme is “Beach Noir.”
