Music for July 4th
Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, picnics and parades, but music-making is at the top of our list this Saturday. Sprinkled throughout the day are familiar tunes by Peter Schickele, George Gershwin, Amy Beach and others. Also, enjoy incredible singing by Austin-based
Conspirare on First Impressions at 3 p.m., along with more American music on The Score, Chicago Symphony and Club Mod.
From all of us at All Classical, have a lovely holiday.
Portland Opera Encores
Beginning this Saturday morning at 10 a.m., enjoy encores of five recent Portland Opera productions. Starting with
Verdi's La Traviata and ending with
Verdi's Rigoletto on August 1, here's your chance to acquaint yourself with our own local opera company before the next season begins. Read introductions to the acts on Pat McElroy's blog each Saturday morning before the opera begins.
