The Oregon Humanities Center presents Christopher Brown and his jazz band
Each moment of our lives presents us with opportunities and challenges for us to make decisions that will shape the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and decade to come. If we want positive outcomes, the challenge is learning how to string together appropriate decisions in each moment. And for that, a decision-making filter is required. Christopher Brown and his band will demonstrate how jazz musicians use decision-making filters to identify what’s worth and what’s not worth paying attention to in various moments of our lives. His presentation and the band’s performance “Beyond the Buzz: Finding the Signal in a Noisy World” will take place in the Sheffer Recital Hall. There will be a reception with no-host bar at 5:30 p.m. The presentation and performance will begin at 6 p.m.
Christopher Brown is a Portland-based musician, composer, bandleader, and educator who seeks to be a voice for the advocacy of jazz music and American culture. After 20 years of military service, Brown studied jazz at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Jazz Studies/Performance. He has taught as an artist in-residence at Wells Fargo’s “NJPAC Jazz For Teens” program (NJ), Mt. Hood Jazz Camp (OR), Mel Brown Jazz Camp (OR), Litchfield Jazz Camp (CT), Rutgers Summer Jazz Institute (NJ), Montclair Jazz Camp (NJ), and the International Summer Music Camp (Brno, Czech Republic). His musical and personal experiences have led him to an interest in synthesizing the principles of jazz with the day-to-day practicalities of life.
This event is part of the 2025–26 Cressman Lectureship.
7:30 p.m.

This presentation investigates the interwoven roles of researcher, observer, and participant within Dagbon and West African music and dance traditions. Through fieldwork and embodied practice, it explores how active participation—drumming, dancing, and performing—becomes a form of inquiry that generates knowledge beyond textual documentation. Engaging with artists and communities, the researcher moves between analysis and experience, revealing how cultural understanding emerges through motion, rhythm, and shared performance. The paper reflects on the ethical and methodological complexities of occupying multiple roles within the same cultural space and argues that embodied research not only enhances scholarly interpretation but also contributes to the preservation and transmission of living traditions. By merging scholarship and performance, this work underscores the body’s central role as both instrument and archive of cultural knowledge.

Filippo’s highlights from 2023-24 include his recital debuts in Teatro alla Scala di Milano, at Cal Performances in Berkeley, and Carnegie Hall, and concertos with the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducted by Daniele Gatti, Shenzhen Phillharmonic and Musikalische Akademie Mannheim.
Filippo’s multi-year project “The Art of Fugue Explored” has shown his vision and creativity to go further than just his performing abilities: with the support of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, he has released the work on Alpha Classics in 2021, performed it internationally over 30 times, and has released on RAI5 and RaiPlay a series of filmed conversations on Bach’s music involving personalities such as Peter Sellars, Frank Gehry, Sasha Waltz, Alexander Sokurov, Alexander Polzin, Alfred Brendel, George Benjamin, and many more. Produced by Unitel, they will soon be published internationally.
His upcoming project “Sonata for 7 cities”, due for 2025-27, aims to show a new, responsible and ethical approach to concert life with monthly residencies in Vienna, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Portland, Milan and more, centred around performances, outreach, teaching, and philanthropy. During this project he will also perform seven newly commissioned piano pieces by composers such as Beat Furrer, Stefano Gervasoni, Yukiko Watanabe, Michelle Agnes Magalhaes, Federico Gardella, Oscar Jockel.
Filippo has received the “Premio Abbiati”, the most prestigious musical recognition in Italy, in 2022, as well as the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award 2020 and First Prize at the Telekom-Beethoven Competition 2015. His three albums featuring Beethoven and Bach late works, released on Alpha Classics, have garnered critical acclaim, including a Diapason d'Or Award and 5-star reviews on The Guardian, BBC Music Magazine, Le Monde.
Alongside his solo career, Filippo has performed chamber music with musicians such as Marc Bouchkov, Itamar Zorman, Pablo Ferrandez, Brannon Cho and Erica Piccotti, in renowned festivals such as the Marlboro Music Festival, the Prussia Cove Chamber Music Seminars, as well as “Chamber Music Connects the World” in Kronberg with Steven Isserlis. He has taught masterclasses at the Liechtenstein Musikakademie, the University of British Columbia, the Royal Welsh College of Music, and the conservatories in Bergamo and Siena. He follows actively the world of contemporary composition, and has played works by composers such as Stockhausen, Kurtág, Boulez and Lachenmann as well as commissioning new pieces.
After graduating with honours from the Donizetti Conservatory in Bergamo and the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Filippo’s artistic development is now supported by the mentorship of Maria Grazia Bellocchio, Pavel Gililov, Alfred Brendel and Mitsuko Uchida.
