While the Olympic hopefuls at the Eugene 08 track and field trials will be striving for excellence, the 2008 Oregon Bach Festival will be raising a few bars of its own.
The Oregon Bach Festival plans a gala tribute to a music-loving track icon, virtuoso performances, a concert in Portland and a canon of Bach masterpieces.
Artistic Director Helmuth Rilling returns to conduct Bach's St. Matthew and St. John Passions, the Magnificat and two performances of the Mass in B Minor, the first of which opens the 2008 Festival June 27 in Portland's Schnitzer Concert Hall.
Guest artists set to appear in the 17-day run include: humorist-author Garrison Keillor; violin virtuoso Sarah Chang and conductor Nicholas McGegan (San Francisco-based Baroque specialist) performing Vivaldi's Four Seasons; a Festival residency (and nod to the 2008 Beijing Olympics) with the Shanghai String Quartet; and an encore by piano wunderkinds The 5 Browns.
Unless noted, concerts take place at the Hult Center.
