I could be mistaken, but there has not been a review of an Oregon Symphony classical performance since November 2015. Shame on you, Oregonian! Aside from making itself the perfect size for lining the bottom of a bird cage, this ‘flagship’ publication is well nigh doing nothing for the classical music community.

But they will do a slideshow of a nude production of Shakespeare in Central Park. Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
