Oregon Arts Watch: Spinning Spaight’s Tales in Eugene
“You could have heard a program flutter to the floor, the audience was so absorbed. The Silva Concert Hall at the Hult Center was nearly full last Saturday night for Eugene Ballet’s performance of Dennis Spaight’s Scheherazade, and it’s a big house, making that a pretty compelling tribute to the dancers, the choreographer, and OrchestraNEXT. Under the baton of founder Brian McWhorter, the orchestra accompanied the entire program with acute sensitivity to both the music and what was happening on stage.”
