June 10, 2006 Oregon events

Britt Festival
June 10 to mid September, 2006 -- Jacksonville
Portland conductor John Trudeau and several friends were visiting Southern Oregon and stumbled upon the former hillside estate of Jacksonville pioneer Peter Britt. Being musicians, they immediately noticed an amazing resonance to the hillside's acoustics. Combined with the gorgeous view of the valley in the distance, they decided the hillside would be the perfect site for concerts. With a maximum capacity of 2,200, Britt is financially able to afford world-class artists while maintaining an intimate atmosphere. Phone: 541-773-6077, info@brittfest.org
