OBF Sells Out ... Some Things, Anyway

So, you're wanting to escape Olympic Trials madness? You won't be able to with this guy. He's sold out!

I'm afraid that since the (eeeeeeeeevil) Nike helped "rebrand" (gag! GAG! TRIPLE GAG!) the Oregon Bach Festival, classical music lovers can't really get away. But anyway. That's a long, long rant for another time. Moving on to the news of the day:

The OBF's PR guy tells us that the Fest is selling crazy amounts of tix.

More than 2,300 people have tix for tonight's B-Minor Mass at the Schnitz in PDX. (The Portland Center for the Performing Arts' website says capacity is 2,776; I wonder how many people will buy tix today or this evening?)

Plus, things are selling out.

Here are the sellouts so far:

• InChoir (that was, I think, Monday night)

• Garrison Keillor 6/30

• Mendelssohn’s Octet 7/5

• The Schubertiade 7/9

Did you miss our Bach Fest special section? Check it out! You can read articles about what you won't be able to get tickets for!

And what you can:

• The 5 Browns 7/2

• Bach & Haydn 7/6

• The Four Seasons 7/10

• St Matthew Passion 7/13

Go to the Bach Fest's new, REBRANDED page for more info and tix.

See you there. With my No Sweat shoes on!
