Rogue Valley Symphony with pianist Jon Nakamatsu at The Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater in Medford, Oregon October 4 at 8:00 P.M.
Program:
Liszt - Les Prelude
Saint-Saens - Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor
Dvorak - Symphony No. 8

"Besides being an astounding technician, Nakamatsu shows impeccable taste; he puts a high gloss on anything he plays." -Chicago Tribune

Jon Nakamatsu came to instant international attention on the day he won the Gold Medal at the Tenth Annual Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1997. He was named Debut Artist of the Year in 1998 by NPR's Performance Today and was profiled by CBS Sunday Morning and by Reader's Digest magazine. Since then he has become one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation, with a reputation for strength and immaculate technique, as well as for interpretation -- "he understands the music of our time from his heart rather than his head" (Salonmagazine).

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon
Currently Operating- November 2
The Shakespeare Festival is still in full swing and you should definitely catch a few plays before the 2008 season is over. Whether you’re in the mood for classics like A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Othello, a modern comedy like The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler or the sobering tragedy A View From the Bridge; the Shakespeare Festival has something to offer everyone.

Slightly Stoopid, Historic Ashland Armory October 8th
Even if you’re not one of Slightly Stoopid’s fans (and judging from MySpace there are a lot of them with over 7 million profile views!), you should know what you are going to get at the show- competent and talented dub/ska jams oozing California sunshine. Seeing them play in the intimate setting of the Ashland Armory will be amazing- making this a show not to miss!

For further information, call Low Down Board Shop (541) 488-8969

These are just a few of the hundreds of cultural events taking place in our valley, you should get out there and take them. (Do you have any suggestions for an event in the Rogue Valley?)
