Well, our break is over, and the Oregon Symphony is getting back in to the new year by playing in both the wading pool and the deep end all at the same time. The first half of these two concerts (December 30\/31 at 7:00 pm) is a bit of a variety show format that is presided over by Pink Martini front man and Oregon Symphony board member Thomas Lauderdale. Lots of crazy stuff will happen, and it should be a memorable event for all. Then, after the dust clears, we launch into Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony, which culminates in the famous “Ode to Joy”. The perfect way to enter in to the new year. Links for tickets and more information can be found in the sidebar to the right, under “Upcoming Events”.<\/del> Both concerts are SOLD OUT!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
