The UO hosts the inaugural Cascade Song Festival, a weekend devoted to the study and performance of song. The recital program, examining narratives of migration, features songs by Irving Berlin, Rebecca Clarke, Jake Heggie, Franz Schubert, Florence Price, Errollyn Wallen, and Robert Owens, among others. The festival brings together internationally acclaimed scholars and performers who will explore a wide array of song repertoire—art songs, pop songs, and everything in between, created by songwriters from across the globe. Headlining the event are a keynote address by musicologist and frequent BBC broadcaster Natasha Loges and a recital by tenor Nicholas Phan, “one of the world’s most remarkable singers” (Boston Globe), and pianist Myra Huang, “among the top accompanists of her generation” (The New York Times).

The festival runs from 1/23-1/26 with several events at different times. You can find the schedule here: https://cascadesongfestival.org/festival-artists/.
