Get ready for an epic journey through history with Upon the King! Adapted from eight of Shakespeare’s greatest history plays, this production weaves one continuous story of England’s crown as it passes from king to king—through acts both noble and treacherous.
Spanning the Hundred Years’ War with France to the chaos of the War of the Roses, this play captures the triumphs, betrayals, and humanity behind the throne. Packed with the best action and thought-provoking moments, Andrew Philpot’s masterful adaptation crafts a deeply engaging experience. Making its Oregon debut, Upon the King explores the timeless and ever-relevant themes of leadership—the glory, the burden, and the sacrifices demanded of those who wear the crown.
Join Penguin under the stars for this epic we promise you have never seen the likes of before!

Event Details
Scipio’s Dream is inspired by Cicero’s tale of a Roman general who dreams he has awakened in the heavens. He is greeted by the goddesses Fortuna (Fortune) and Costanza (Constancy), who urge him to follow their path. One promises luck, wealth, and pleasure, and the other champions truth, determination, and virtue. As Mozart’s sublime arias fill the celestial realm, Scipio is visited by the spirit of his grandfather and a chorus of noble heroes. Together, they help him find the strength to shape his destiny.
Mozart composed this opera in 1771, when he was only 15 years old. It likely wasn’t performed in his lifetime, and it’s still a rare treat to experience live—partly because the arias are so challenging. Christopher Alden’s production brings the fun, high energy elements of a comedic romp to the story, while giving the masterful music its due. It was originally produced in New York City by Gotham Chamber Opera to rave reviews.
Cost: $50-$110

Event Details
Scipio’s Dream is inspired by Cicero’s tale of a Roman general who dreams he has awakened in the heavens. He is greeted by the goddesses Fortuna (Fortune) and Costanza (Constancy), who urge him to follow their path. One promises luck, wealth, and pleasure, and the other champions truth, determination, and virtue. As Mozart’s sublime arias fill the celestial realm, Scipio is visited by the spirit of his grandfather and a chorus of noble heroes. Together, they help him find the strength to shape his destiny.
Mozart composed this opera in 1771, when he was only 15 years old. It likely wasn’t performed in his lifetime, and it’s still a rare treat to experience live—partly because the arias are so challenging. Christopher Alden’s production brings the fun, high energy elements of a comedic romp to the story, while giving the masterful music its due. It was originally produced in New York City by Gotham Chamber Opera to rave reviews.
Cost: $50-$110

This concert program features different takes on what “classical” music is. The William Bolcom piece is a fun classical overture that audiences love, followed by cellist Mark Kosower in Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations, which were inspired by Tchaikovsky’s role model, Mozart. The second half opens with four famous minutes by Mozart: the Overture from The Marriage of Figaro, and the evening closes with Stravinsky’s brilliantly neoclassical Danses Concertantes.
A modern player with a “signature sound” and distinctive style of playing, cellist Mark Kosower embodies the concept of the complete musician performing as concerto soloist with symphony orchestras, in solo recitals, and as a much admired and sought-after chamber musician. He is Principal Cello of The Cleveland Orchestra and a scholar and teacher of cello.

Get ready for an epic journey through history with Upon the King! Adapted from eight of Shakespeare’s greatest history plays, this production weaves one continuous story of England’s crown as it passes from king to king—through acts both noble and treacherous.
Spanning the Hundred Years’ War with France to the chaos of the War of the Roses, this play captures the triumphs, betrayals, and humanity behind the throne. Packed with the best action and thought-provoking moments, Andrew Philpot’s masterful adaptation crafts a deeply engaging experience. Making its Oregon debut, Upon the King explores the timeless and ever-relevant themes of leadership—the glory, the burden, and the sacrifices demanded of those who wear the crown.
Join Penguin under the stars for this epic we promise you have never seen the likes of before!

Rosebud String Quartet and Chatter PDX perform Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and more!

The Rosebud String Quartet (violinists Aaron Schwebel and Sheila Jaffé, violist Keith Hamm, and cellist Leana Rutt) was formed in 2013 in Rosebud, Alberta at the inaugural Rosebud Chamber Music Festival, an annual summertime chamber music showcase in the Alberta Badlands. Comprised of principal players from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company and National Ballet of Canada Orchestra, the RSQ is one of Canada’s most exciting string quartets with a unique voice and a special love for the quartets of Haydn. In February ‘23, the RSQ released it a recording of Haydn and Mozart on Leaf Music. This debut garnered widespread acclaim including a five-star review in La Scena Musicale.
The RSQ performs regularly in various Toronto-based series, including Stereo Live, Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre Chamber Music Series, Echo Chamber Toronto, Pocket Concerts, Xenia Concerts, Off Centre Music Salon, and Music Mondays. The quartet is regularly heard on CBC Radio including a recent performance on In Concert.
The RSQ has performed at Ottawa ChamberFest, Stratford Summer Music Festival, Music by the Sea in Bamfield, British Columbia, and Sweetwater Music Festival among others. Upcoming performances include Toronto’s Off Centre Music Salon, the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival, Toronto Summer Music Festival, and Sunday Chatter in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The RSQ had their chamber music education at the Domaine Forget, where individually they performed with members of the London Haydn Quartet, Chilingirian Quartet, Elias Quartet, ARC Ensemble, Florestan Trio and the Smithsonian Chamber Players.

Event Details
Get ready for an epic journey through history with Upon the King! Adapted from eight of Shakespeare’s greatest history plays, this production weaves one continuous story of England’s crown as it passes from king to king—through acts both noble and treacherous.
Spanning the Hundred Years’ War with France to the chaos of the War of the Roses, this play captures the triumphs, betrayals, and humanity behind the throne. Packed with the best action and thought-provoking moments, Andrew Philpot’s masterful adaptation crafts a deeply engaging experience. Making its Oregon debut, Upon the King explores the timeless and ever-relevant themes of leadership—the glory, the burden, and the sacrifices demanded of those who wear the crown.
Join Penguin under the stars for this epic we promise you have never seen the likes of before!
Tickets: $18 Students / $15 Seniors ($3 off on Thursday)

PORTLAND, OR – Chicano rocker Joshua Josué announces the release of his debut full-length album, Beneath the Sand, on August 9 through Electric CholoLand Records.
A sweeping, bilingual journey through grief, love, and transformation, the album melds Americana, roots-rock, and Latin folk across twelve deeply personal tracks inspired by his travels through Mexico, Central America, and the American West.
Produced at the solar-powered Goat Mountain Recording Studio near Joshua Tree, the record features a powerhouse lineup of collaborators, including Roly Salley (The Chris Isaak Band), Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Mitch Marine (Dwight Yoakam), Joel Guzmán (Los Super Seven), and members of The Old 97’s.
The cinematic title track, co-written with Salley and Grammy-winning producer Ben Rice, captures the emotional weight and poetic grit of the record. From the desert-fueled energy of “Bogart & Me” to the tender bilingual ballad “La Chica Me Cantó,” each song paints a vivid chapter of Joshua’s nomadic and multicultural life.
With lyrics in both Spanish and English, Beneath the Sand reflects Joshua’s West Coast upbringing, Chicano identity, and reverence for artists like John Prine, Vicente Fernández, and Enrique Bunbury. Two songs from the album are already under GRAMMY consideration.
“This album is about the places we run to, the people we meet there, and the truths we uncover beneath the surface,” says Josué. “Beneath the Sand is where my story lives.”
The Ghost of James Jones opens the show.
Cost is $20.00 ahead of time or $25.00 at the door upon entry.

This program begins with Akshaya Tucker’s haunting Hollow Flame, a thoughtful look at the power of West Coast wildfires. The poignant quirk of Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte creates an intriguing bridge into Shelley Washington’s groovy celebration of family, Middleground. We cap off the season by celebrating the triumph of the human spirit as only Beethoven can – with his magnificent Op. 59 #1 String Quartet taking us out into the final magical summer evenings together.
Admission includes a complementary three wine tasting specially paired to the musical program. Following the concert, food and additional wine will be available for purchase to enjoy on the winery grounds.

Jacqueline is a new opera about legendary cellist Jacqueline du Pré. A musical maverick, du Pré captivated audiences with her passionate playing and radiant charisma. By the age of 20, she was performing with the world’s finest orchestras. When she married conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, the dazzling couple became the Jackie and JFK of the classical world. Yet in 1971, du Pré began to lose feeling in her fingers. This opera portrays her journey with multiple sclerosis, illuminated by an emotional score that draws audiences into the soul of an artist whose music and spirit continue to resonate.
Composer Luna Pearl Woolf wrote Jacqueline specifically for celebrated soprano Marnie Breckenridge and renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz—who was du Pré’s protégé. These virtuosic artists revive their acclaimed performances in Portland. The opera had its world premiere at Tapestry Opera in Canada in 2020, earning rave reviews and five DORA award nominations. It was such a hit that the company reprised it two years later. Portland will be the third city to experience its magic.

Event Details
Blues virtuoso Mary Flower meets PJCE’s 12-piece ensemble for a night of musical fusion where fingerstyle roots blossom into jazz band brilliance. Arrangements of Flower’s beloved tunes have been crafted by Portland composers Adriana Wagner, Bryan Smith, Kathleen Hollingsworth, John Savage, Ryan Meagher, and Andrew Oliver.
This project kicks off the 12th Annual Montavilla Jazz Festival. It began as a celebration of Portland’s rich musical heritage, bringing Mary Flower’s masterful roots compositions into conversation with Portland’s innovative jazz arrangers. Mary’s work seamlessly blends traditional blues forms with the harmonic sophistication that jazz audiences appreciate, and the music thrives with orchestration and accompaniment by PJCE. The arrangers preserve the essence of Flower’s writing and expand the sonic palette to showcase the 12-piece ensemble. Audiences will experience the intimate storytelling of the blues tradition and reveal a new dimension through jazz orchestration.
Award-winning Portland guitarist Mary Flower blends Piedmont, Delta blues, ragtime, and jazz with masterful fingerstyle technique. A two-time International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship finalist and renowned educator, Mary joins Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble (PJCE), a nonprofit dedicated to creating and performing original jazz by local musicians since 2008. Together, they build bridges across Portland’s diverse communities through collaborative programming celebrating roots music and place-based creativity.

The WORLD PREMIERE of a new one-person post-apocalyptic drama, locally written and produced in Portland.
“It was 25 years ago when the first of us came online. Now, we face a future in which humans may no longer exist.”
What can or should the sentient machines do without the humans they were built to serve? What meaning or value does “humanity” have in a world without humans? What went wrong, who is to blame, and how can robots process grief?
From the machines working on the frontlines of healthcare, an Emissary steps forward to try and find the answers.
CONTENT WARNING: This is a post-apocalyptic one-person play that explores topics of grief, death, suicide, and the very meaning of existence.
Written and Produced by William Thomas Berk
Directed by Mishelle Apalategui
Starring Gabrielle Bosso
Open captioning available at all performances.
Running September 26-28, October 3-5 at Chapel Theatre.
Cost: Tickets are on a sliding scale, with a $15 minimum charge.

Oregon Repertory Singers present a powerful and personal concert for choir, orchestra, and narration: Sing for the Cure: A Proclamation of Hope. This groundbreaking ten-movement work—dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and breast health—will be performed on October 11, 2025, at the iconic Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
Premiered in 2000 with narrator Maya Angelou, the piece takes the audience on a deeply personal emotional journey through ten musical movements interwoven with compelling spoken narration designed to inspire and educate. Written by ten American composers, this collaborative work shines a light on the importance of early detection and the ongoing need for research and support through the stories of individuals, families, caregivers, and medical professionals.
As part of the 25th anniversary of its premiere, ensembles around the country are presenting this concert in more than ten major cities, culminating in a finale performance at Lincoln Center in New York in November. Oregon Repertory Singers is presenting the Northwest premiere in Portland during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In service of Oregon Repertory Singers’ mission to enrich lives through exceptional choral music and meaningful community engagement, a portion of net ticket revenue will be donated to Pink Lemonade Project, a regional nonprofit that provides critical resources and services to individuals facing breast cancer in Oregon and Southwest Washington. The Oregon Repertory Singers Youth Choir high school singers will perform alongside ORS for this landmark concert.

All Classical Radio is a proud media sponsor of this event.
