🎤 Beaverton Hip Hop Week | August 20–26 🎤

Celebrating the culture, creativity, and community that make hip hop a powerful force for connection! This year, Rhythm & Revolution programming in combination with our partnership with DJ OG One helped create meaningful opportunities for youth, artists, families, and the broader Beaverton community.

We’re proud to build alongside two incredible creative partners, DJ OG One and Aaron Nigel Smith, whose artistry, leadership, and commitment to community continue to amplify the power of hip hop. And many thanks also to Mayor Beaty and the City of Beaverton for this recognition.

From music and movement to education and expression, let’s come together August 20–26 to celebrate hip hop in all its forms. ✨

It's almost time to kick off our 5th Anniversary Season! Grammy and 2x Latin Grammy-winning Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno has spent her career effortlessly weaving together blues, folk, jazz, and the rich musical traditions of Latin America. Performing as a quartet, she takes the stage for an evening that moves fluidly between beloved fan favorites and fresh new material, a reminder of why she has captivated audiences from Guatemala City to Lincoln Center.

Moreno’s music is a conversation across borders and generations. Her songs carry the weight of longing and the lightness of joy, sung in both Spanish and English with a voice that feels like it has always existed, like something you’ve known your whole life without ever having heard it before. Whether she’s channeling the smoky elegance of vintage bolero or the gritty pulse of American roots music, she makes it entirely and unmistakably her own.

An evening of extraordinary intimacy: four musicians, one stage, and a songwriter at the height of her powers.

The pioneer of folk-rock and the unmistakable voice behind some of the most influential music of the 20th century, Roger McGuinn, is bringing his legendary storytelling and signature 12-string Rickenbacker sound to Patricia Reser Center for the Arts September 22nd, 2026.

As the founder and frontman of The Byrds, McGuinn didn’t just play music; he helped invent a genre. From the jangly, celestial heights of “Eight Miles High” to the definitive folk-rock anthem “Mr. Tambourine Man,” McGuinn’s influence is woven into the very fabric of American rock and roll.

This intimate performance offers fans a rare journey through the history of rock music. Armed with his guitar and a lifetime of experiences, McGuinn delivers a format that is part concert and part masterclass. The setlist spans his storied career.
