Feb. 10 is a big day...

We are gathering at Macadam's at 4pm that Wednesday to watch the Orange men's basketball team take on UConn.

But that is also the day that your ticket order is due for our Oregon Symphony event later in the month.

Wes Johnson


Both the game and the concert should be great entertainment. Scroll down for more info about the symphony.


Join us for Mozart and Mayhem on Feb. 20

Gregory Vajda

The club is going to hear Resident Conductor Gregory Vajda lead the Oregon Symphony on Saturday night, Feb. 20. The program includes Mozart's Piano concerto No. 23 and the wildly creative Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz.


Whether you're a classical music fan or not, this program is very accessible with memorable melodies ranging from the elegance of Mozart as interpreted by pianist Angela Hewitt to the waltzes and witches' brew served up by Berlioz.

The club has discounted tickets, but you must order through the club by Feb. 10.
