★ Guest conductor Matthew Halls (see more
about him on p. 03) puts the OBF orchestra
through its varied Baroque and early modern
paces with a mixed Purcell, Britten and Handel
program sure to be as splendid as the inspiration
of the muse he and the musicians praise. Halls,
like Jeffrey Kahane, is one of the several possible
sucessors to Helmuth Rilling; if you love the Bach
Festival, you must see what both men do with
the orchestra and chorus this year so you can
understand the future.

★ Maestro Rilling does some of his most public
great work with the Discovery Series on Bach’s
many cantatas. Even if you’re unfamiliar with a
certain cantata, it’s well worth the money and
time to get to Beall Hall on the UO campus so
that you can see and hear the magic of thought,
intention and skill melded into one casual but
brilliant afternoon. (More Rilling series on June 29
and July 1 & 8; guest conductor Jeffrey Kahane on
June 24 and guest conductor Matthew Halls on
