Oregon Mozart
Players guest conductor Frank Graffeo returns to Eugene
for his fifth season this week, to lead the annual Candlelight
Concerts. Guest soloists Wesley
Baldwin and Alice Blankenship (pictured), both originally
from Eugene, performed together during their grade school,
middle school and high school years. This performance
marks the first time Baldwin and Blankenship have joined
forces since 1983. The program includes favorites such
as Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," set against a backdrop
of warm candlelight. See Friday Calendar.
Joan
Baez's music has always reflected
her actions — thoughtful and deliberate. Baez,
who recently recorded her first new album in several
years, has been a powerful force in political activism
for more than four decades. Her Dark Chords on a
Big Guitar mirrors the current state of the world
and continues Baez's active exploration of the human
condition. Revel in the work of this true artist at
The Shedd this week. See Wednesday Calendar.
Live
the fairytale this week, when Eugene Ballet Company presents
Toni Pimble's highly acclaimed Cinderella.
Beauty, comedy and irony mix with stellar choreography and
music by Sergei Prokofiev to create a performance not to
be missed. See Saturday Calendar and Dance Column.
