foster arts in Rappahannock County.

“There are some very fine artists who are withdrawn and locked away, and then there are those who are part of the community. I happen to be part of the latter,” he said.'

“It’s an incredibly strong arts community here. Per capita, it’s probably the strongest arts community I’ve ever even heard of,” he said. About eight years ago, Trapezoid was based near Keyser, W.Va., but they decided they needed to be closer to the D.C. area. He and Ms. Portman drew a 1 1/2 hour circle around a map of the city and visited most of the small communities, scouting them out. Rappahannock was the only one that had both a rural way of life, natural beauty and a large number of other artists. During Ms. Portman’s first day in Washington she met choreographer Sally Nash and attended a film and lecture about Carl Jung—the die was cast. “Nothing substitutes for arts being a part of daily life,” he said.

Mr. Reisler said he looks forward to getting people’s questions about his work and their input about what they epjoy in his music during the Exchange Sunday. “People can always come see a concert, but it’s rare to be let in on the artistic process,” he said. Instead of simply telling an entertaining story about the individual songs and compositions, as he normally would, he will be able to “find out if my message is clear— if people know what I’m talking about.”

The evening’s festivities begin at. 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Ki Theatre building (old town hall) on pay Street in Washington, Va. Advance tickets are available at Mountainside Market in Washington for $5. They are $6 at the door, but the event is expected to sell out. For details call Ki Theatre at 987-3167.
