While
in the midst of flood season (and with water, literally,
surrounding us on all sides) it is muy importante
that we seek great adventure and merriment down the
rabbit hole — or, probably easier, on artificial
ice surfaces. Enter the Lane Events Center's Holiday
Ice Show, a Friday-Saturday affair benefiting
Toys for Tots (admission is a new, unwrapped store-packaged
toy for a child … so don't just walk over to
the Holiday Market and pick up The Real Game
of Life), with this year's theme being "Alice's Wonderland:
Skating Through The Looking Glass." The costumes are
sure to be more Disney, less Lewis Carroll. See Calendar.
OMG!
OMP! Always a seasonal favorite, the impeccable
teamsters of the Oregon Mozart Players
bring their candlelit concert, Baroque for
the Holidays, to local churches for
a soothing, darn near spiritual musical experience
of works by Handel, Telemann, Vivaldi and Bach.
(What? No Mozart?) Special guest vocalist Natalie
Gunn (pictured right) is featured in this
three-day showing. We saw the Portland soprano
wax ecstatic as The Queen of the Night at the
Astoria Music Festival's 2004 production of The
Magic Flute, and we were damn impressed. A
regular with the Portland Opera, Gunn will flex
her vocal reach on Bach's Cantata No. 210, "O
holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit," which we loosely
translate to mean "It's Beginning to Look a Lot
Like Christmas." Catch the show Monday and Wednesday
at Eugene's First Christian Church, and Tuesday
at Springfield's Ebbert Church. See Calendar.
Downtown
Eugene opens its arms to the darkened
evenings of winter this Friday with
a very celebratious (if that's a
word, do tell) First Friday ARTWalk
that begins with a public tree lighting
(a source of agony for many) at
8th and Oak (that's the Park Blocks,
people, the park blocks).
Lane Arts Council's Douglas Beauchamp
hosts this monthly wander and will
lead you to La Follette Gallery,
the first stop on the art jaunt,
where Portland artists Karen Ehlers
(her Vases is pictured left)
and Jan Cavecche have pooled their
recent work in encaustic in a dual
showing of this Jasper Johns-approved
painting technique. Stop #2 views
Connie Mueller's series of reduced
linocut prints at White Lotus Gallery
before hopping across Willamette
for Karin Clarke Gallery's show
of AdamGrosowskyness (with other
paintings by grosowskyling Christopher
Bechler). Anne Teigen's lush paintings
are highlighted at the Opus6ix gallery
for stop #4, while the Museum of
Unfine Art finally gets its First
Friday due (they had to book a lineup
of name-checked artists to get it,
though … hey Marlis! Hey Rob
D.! Hey John Holdway and Mackenzie!)
for stop #5. The final stop of the
year! See Friday Calendar.
