There are times when the Cascade Head Music Festival is as good as it gets. On an American night, in an American town, in a beautiful cloister that isn't a cloister after all."

Ongoing Events:

Todd Bauer, Bert Liverance and Sue Moir
June 1-23, 2006 -- Hillsboro
Todd Bauer and Bert Liverance are painters who have invested considerable study to evolve the use of paint – but with very different results. Both painters focus in on a central figure, a limited palette and a single theme. Bauer paints abstractly using direct painting and drip techniques to make spare compositions placing his work somewhere between minimalism and abstract expressionism. Liverance paints work that is highly illustrative macro views of flowers, luminous with glazed colors. Sue Moir is a glass artist whose work seems to visually bridge the gap between the two. Moir's glass work ranges from biomorphic abstractions to functional pieces that are vibrant and rich in color. Opening reception on Tuesday, May 2nd from 6 to 8 PM. Glenn and Viola Walters Cultural Center, 527 East Main Street. For More Information: 503-615-3485

Britt Festival
June 7 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
