Deadline for Calendar and Art in the Galleries submissions are noon on Thursday, a week before the issue that covers your event. Send an e-mail with event, date, time, location and cost to attend to cal@eugeneweekly.com

Two classical music superstars visit Eugene this week, and they’ve got more in common than you’d think. Fans of strings get cellist powerhouse Yo-Yo Ma (Tuesday with the Eugene Symphony, sold out) while fans of horns get jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis (Thursday, Oct. 2, with the Philharmonia Brasileira). Both were born into musical families and trained in music at young ages; both have won Grammy awards, collaborated with Sting, performed on motion picture soundtracks and are around 50 years old. The Marsalis gig celebrates the 50th anniversary of the death of Brazil’s revered composer Heitor Villa-Lobos by performing his Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5 and Fantasia for Soprano Sax & Orchestra, in addition to two other works by Brazilian and French composers. The Ma affair visits Europe for a taste of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3, Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major and two works by Tchaikovsky. See Calendar.

While we grudgingly pull out the box from under the stairs with our supply of scarves, hats, gloves and sweaters — still not believing that Labor Day was over three weeks ago — we remind ourselves why we love fall. The colors, the crisp apples, the crunchy leaves underfoot: It’s enough reason to celebrate. It’s also enough reason (for Eugeneans) to make the trek up to the Corvallis Fall Festival, a two-day arts-and-craft fair with local food vendors, childrens’ activities, 5k/10k road race and an evening street dance with music from soul diva Linda Hornbuckle. Dancing with the Disco Cart at the Eugene Celebration was one thing … dancing in Corvallis’ lovely downtown and parks is on a whole ‘nother level. See Corvallis listings.

We will save you 10 seconds of your precious time and tell you what The Weather Channel predicts for weather during the Last Friday Art Walk: high of 74, overnight low of 47, partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain. We can probably predict that, even though the Last Friday Art Walk gets featured on this page month after month, about 80 percent of you still haven’t a clue what it’s all about. Well, now would be the time to check out why it puts the “fun” back in “funkiness.” For starters, see the new venue Pink Robot Studios (175 N. Van Buren), where work by Scott Boyes will show next to free games of foosball. Also stop by the Cat’s Meow (443 Madison) for exciting work by Jessica Dorff (pictured), Teresa Meier and Joshua Evert. Live music and a photo projector show in the parking lot of Living Art Botanicals (544 Blair) round out the evening. See www.lastfridayartwalk.org and Friday Calendar.
