Fear is central to our human experience, a powerful force that extends beyond our individual lives into political and cultural realms. In an uncertain world, the opportunities for fear to take root and spread are infinite. In this workshop, we take a non-judgmental approach to fear, viewing it not as our enemy—but as a catalyst for self-discovery and transformation.

Oregon has a particularly unique history of racial injustice that in some ways mirrors and in other ways is distinct from the larger history of racial oppression that exists in our nation as a whole. As Oregonians, we’ve inherited these histories, and their legacies connect to present-day injustices. But what does it look like to confront them, as individuals and communities? And beyond that, how might we come together to shape those histories being written today?

So Much Together is an Oregon Humanities program that celebrates the abundance of imaginative and collaborative work happening in Oregon and throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Intimate Letters concludes our 9th season with two landmark quartets from the 19th and 20th centuries. Janacek's "Intimate Letters" is a portrait of passionate, unreciprocated love, seen through the hundreds of letters the composer exchanged with a much younger, married woman. The torment of love is an ever-present theme in Schubert's music, especially in his lieder, which open the program. We conclude our season with his stunning and expansive Quartet in G Major, Schubert’s last string quartet.
