There are classic events, and then there are classically classic events like the Oregon Bach Festival held the last part of June and into early July. Under the superb leadership of Helmuth Riling, the festival presents the choral and orchestral masterworks of Sebastian Bach. The event is held in Eugene at the University of Oregon's Beall Concert Hall and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts as well as other cities in Oregon.
Eugene is home to the Eugene Emeralds, a short-season Class A minor league baseball team. The “Ems,” as they are commonly referred to, play their home games in PK Park which is also the home of the University of Oregon baseball team.
Sometimes, great talent can be found right in your own back yard. Such is the case with the fine actors, producers, directors and technical personnel who are part of Eugene's Lord Leebrick Theatre Company. The group's mission is to entertain audiences with bold, often thought-provoking theater presented in a charming and intimate surrounding. The entertainment facility has upheld its artistic tradition for the past nineteen years and shows no signs of stopping the show anytime soon.
