Saturday, December 19th, the quartet played the Newport Performing Arts Center in Newport, Oregon as part of the Newport Symphony’s 2009-2010 season. We were invited by the NSO’s music director Adam Flatt, who Heather and I know well from his years as an apprentice conductor with the Oregon Symphony over a decade ago. He asked [...]

Portland’s own Badbeard’s Microroastery will be offering a new signature blend called Symphony – for every one pound bag of freshly roasted coffee that you purchase direct from Badbeard himself (in fact local cellist and coffee geek extraordinaire Justin Kagan, a frequent performer with the Oregon Symphony, Portland Cello Project, Red Sneakers, and more) two [...]

I had the pleasure of venturing North into the wilds of Vancouver, Washington to hear Nancy Ives, principal cellist of the Oregon Symphony, perform the great Dvorak Cello Concerto with the Vancouver Symphony under the direction of Salvator Brotons. I don’t really want to write a review, other than to say [...]

Marilyn de Oliveira
We know that we’re lucky to have Marilyn de Oliveira join us as our new Assistant principal (or as one dubious friend of mine likes to say “ass prince”) cellist this season. She’s a vital and sensitive artist, but also brings a brilliant smile and equally brilliant wardrobe to the section as [...]

It’s a selection of some of Brahms’ best works for strings – the A major Violin Sonata, the E minor Cello Sonata, and the Trio in B major, Op. 8. Should [...]

This weekend brought an exhausting, but enjoyable set of concerts to the Schnitzer Concert Hall. There were three major set changes which taxed the expert stage crew (and probably the patience of the audience) to their limits, but considering all of the chairs and stands which needed to be moved around, they did a speedy [...]

Oregon Symphony cellist Adam Esbensen, a native of Corvallis, and a member of the Oregon Symphony since 2004 (he’s also the cellist with local new music ensemble fEARnoMUSIC), has won what is considered the Holy Grail of orchestral jobs, a position in a Big Five orchestra, in this case the Boston Symphony!

Just got this done for them today – we shot Adam (cello), Joël (boom box), and Joel (cymbals of death) in Joël’s living room against a blank wall with a sheet on the floor. Then I went home, picked the best poses and laboriously cut them away from the existing background using Photoshop, replacing [...]

If you’re a regular concert goer, and you happen to either be close enough to the stage or own a pair of opera glass or good birding binoculars, you’ve noticed those portable plexiglass things scattered about different parts of the stage. Mostly they’re located at the back of the cello and second violin sections, and [...]

This week we’re rehearsing for the Classical 6 series: Sibelius’ Sixth Symphony, Haydn’s D major Cello Concerto, and Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony, under the direction of Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu. It’s an interesting program. So far we’ve only rehearsed the two symphonies, but they bring surprises, both in comparison to each other and in [...]
