Gala will feature exhibit competition that I had won in high school, like many people have, and the wonderful thing they do is bring their alumni back to work on artistic collaborations with the new students,” Eggar said. “I had been brought down to give a speech to the music finalists and was told that Bylle Redford was doing an incredible project about the environment and she needed a co-composer kind of guy who plays piano.” Eggar was told two weeks before the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where his friend Mark Jackson’s “War Story” would be screened.

We’re so appreciative of them coming forth and wanting to raise money on our behalf.” Art, of course, will be one of the components of the event. “Virginia reached out to a bunch of local artists. All the artist who are participating in the event are from Utah, “ Kun said. “There will be 26 artists who work in various disciplines who will have their art on display for purchase by the public.” (See accompanying list on this page for those artists). In addition, there will be 11 plein-air painters who will paint onsite at the ranch on Friday and Saturday morning. “They will display their paint- “I was able to meet the Redfords there and talk with them about the project,” Eggar said. Eggar agreed to do the project, and suggested he bring his longtime collaborator, percussionist Chuck Palmer, to add his talents as well. “We all met with Will and the Redfords at Sundance Film Festival and while we were talking, the ideas just started flowing,” Palmer said. “I mean, we got along so well and it was a such a great vibe.” A few days later, the three musicians met at Calhoun’s place in the Bronx and went to work. “I brought in a recorder and pushed play,” Palmer said. “Since it was our first time working together we had to throw a few ideas out and see the reaction,” Calhoun said. “Bylle is very easy to work with, and her vision for art is endless. [So] as a musician/composer this is the most fertile environment to create.” There was something that clicked between the musicians during that first session. “It was as if we had been rehearsing for four months,” Eggar said. “What I’ve learned in the arts is if you feel that kind of simpatico you go with it.” The trio made rough demos and sent them off to Redford. “Bylle loved those raw recordings,” Palmer said. “We actually still use them today when we send them to new choreographers who work on the show.” Each musician approached the music in their own ways. “Bylle has brilliant paintings, and to me it's the same as a composer handing me a piece of their sheet music,” Calhoun said. “I ask the same questions to Bylle I would ask a composer — what is the title, what inspired you to create this piece, if there is a story attached, I would like to hear it. Sometimes just a title is enough information.” Eggar focused on how the instruments worked with the narrative. “We used processes of improvisation and rhythmic composition and utilized instruments from all over the world as we learned to tell these epic stories of air, wind and fire and how we relate to nature,” he explained. “We looked cross culturally at these instru- ARTISTS PARTICIPATING IN THE CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS Stephanie Saint-Thomas -jewelry and paintings Jan Perkins -- oil on canvas Ron Russon -- oil on canvas Mark Maziarz -- photography Asia Raine -- jewelry Susan Slewing -- oil on board Dan Cummings -- sandblasted glass sculpture Sierra Dickey -- oil on canvas Thomas J Howa -- abstract metal Susan Jarvis -- oil on canvas Lucia Heffernen -- oil on canvas John Collins -- oil on canvas Stacy Phillips -- mixed media ings beginning on Saturday for sale to the general public,” Kun said. Although admission to the Celebration of the Arts is free, it is a fundraiser and the money will be raised through the artists. “We have a revenue share with the artists,” Kun said. “Part of the proceeds of the sales will benefit the Kimball Art Center. The other part will go to the artists. “The Kimball Art Center Sandra Ence -- hand-painted wearable silks Sandra Elliott -- ceramic sculpture Jan Massimino -- encaustic Jeanne LaRae -- oil on canvas Emily Q Loughlin -- wearable art Ron S Butkovitch -- jewelry Jimmi Toro -- paintings Brian Lindley -- airbrush on metal Chauncey Secrist -- mixed media Traci O'Very Covey -- gouache on paper Lisa Howa -- jewelry Kami Kahler -- jewelry Douglas Smith -- encaustic inspires and connects people through art and we’re inspired daily how the artists support us as well,” he said. “We’re thankful for those artists who agreed to help us out and fund our classes and programs.” The programs cover three areas -- education, free exhibits and other events. “We will look to see which of Please see Fundraiser, C-4 COURTESY OF WAY OF THE RAIN Sibylle Szaggars Redford’s husband Robert Redford, left, and dancer Andrew Nemr will also participate in the live component of her exhibit “The Way of the Rain.” ments and how they are able to tell the stories. It was beautiful getting to this more universal space.” The project led Palmer get back to his artistic roots. “That reality of it [was] incredibly exciting to me because I grew up with a mother who was a visual artist and my brother is a sculptor of gigantic proportions,” he said. “I got to grow up being influenced by how he saw the world. So, working with a visual artist was exciting.” In addition to the paintings, the musicians knew they would be working with a dancer. “The dance aspect [mandated a] more definitive music attention,” Calhoun said. “To accentuate the dance steps Chuck, Dave and I had to focus on movement, time signatures, volume, tempo, and most crucial — not over playing. The music must support the dancing, not overtake it. Finding the right balance [took] patience.” Palmer took things in stride. “I do a lot of work with dance and I’m comfortable doing that and it’s really one of my favorite things to do,” he said. “It was a little different to work on this project, but I felt well positioned to do it.” The musicians will reunite for the gala performance and Redford is looking forward to seeing her creation come alive again. “Every ‘The Way of the Rain’ performance differs from the other,” she said. “[While] none of our performances are the same no matter how big or small they are, the concept about the homage of our planet Earth and its four universal elements always stays the same. This is our important message.” The musicians are also look- ing forward to working with each other once more. “‘Way of the Rain’ is a great family to meet, work, eat, laugh, and most importantly create with,” Calhoun said. “It’s a unique setting and every collaboration takes us further into our creative universe.” Eggar enjoys being part of this socially important work. “One of the things that means so much is that working with music in a way that affects politics and social change,” he said. “It’s so great to work in a project that relates music to environmentalism and allows us to dig into the relationship between music and these very deep concepts, which really need looking at.” Palmer is curious about the Kimball Art Center audience’s reaction. “I feel the audiences we have performed for have become more receptive and motivated about the reality of what is happening to our planet and how things have to happen on an individual basis in order to bring about change,” he said. “All of us who were part of this creation are inspired by that and this is at the forefront of our minds as we are doing it.” Redford is grateful to the Kimball Art Center for keeping her creation alive. “Every ‘The Way of the Rain' performance we are invited to present means that we are able to convey our message about the fragility of our one and only Earth,” Redford said.
