I hope that the Classical Beaver brings a change of underwear for the Oregon Symphony’s January 14, 15 and 16th concerts, because the ‘rock star’ violinist Joshua Bell will now be playing the great Violin Concerto of Johannes Brahms in place of the previously programmed First Concerto of Dmitri Shostakovich. I’ll bet that principal oboist Marty Hebert is also salivating at another opportunity to play one of the most gorgeous oboe solos in the universe in the 2nd movement of the Brahms concerto.
Tickets available by calling the Oregon Symphony ticket office at 503-228-1353 or online at www.orsymphony.org.
