SamaZama is a collaboration of the Koto – a Japanese traditional musical instrument played By Masumi Timson and the Cello played by Joseph Harchanko. “Samazama” is the Japanese word for variety. The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis. Their music deftly unites these two widely divergent instruments through traditional and contemporary Koto works to create a vibrant musical soundscape that soothes and inspires. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Parking around the Capitol Mall is free on the weekends. This event is sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and the City of Salem.

The collection was started more than 30 years ago by H.A. “Mac” MacDonald\, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who served during the Korean and Vietnam wars. \nMacDonald was working as a lobbyist for various veterans’ organizations when he was asked if he knew anyone who would be interested in an unwanted military uniform. MacDonald was\, and from that single donation grew a collection that today has nearly 2\,000 uniforms. \nYou may have seen past exhibits at the Capitol\, or perhaps at the Marion County or state fair. But what you might not know is that every exhibit is different. Come and explore the uniforms during this annual exhibit which runs this year April 6-24.

The exhibit is available during Capitol hours\, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. \nAthanasios (Tom) Efthimiou Stefopoulos was a factory worker\, railroad man\, commercial artist\, and a champion penman. Art was his first love but pursuing this was difficult for a young immigrant in an adopted country where he did not even speak the language. In 1945\, he was employed by the Spokane\, Portland & Seattle Railroad to work as a crossing watchman under the Lovejoy Ramp of the Broadway Bridge in Portland\, Oregon. It was here that the artist created the iconic “Lovejoy Columns.” This exhibition considers the range of Stefopoulos’ art\, from pen drawings to the murals that graced the Lovejoy Columns. His style is a unique blend of calligraphic lines and Art Nouveau\, and his themes span Ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary world events. In style and in theme\, Stefopoulos blended a myriad of influences\, a result of a life lived in multiple places and among many people. Despite a life that was characterized by movement and synthesis\, however\, the Lovejoy Columns represent a sense of belonging to specific place—in this case\, to Oregon. Stefopoulos’ art gives insight into how the artist envisioned himself in this new home. \nThis exhibit was one of three that were awarded Capitol History Gateway exhibit sponsorships in the first year of the program. Exhibits are funded\, in part\, by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation\, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
