Community Calendar

The Eureka Symphony invites the community to an evening of reflection, remembrance, and renewal with A Requiem for Humanity, featuring Johannes Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem). Performances will take place Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, located at 412 G Street in downtown Eureka. This concert is sponsored by Carter House Inns in Eureka.

Brahms’s luminous work was not composed as a traditional mass for the dead but as a source of comfort for the living, exploring themes of grief, love, and the enduring human spirit.

The orchestra is joined by acclaimed soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon and sumptuous baritone Daniel Cilli. The Eureka Symphony Chorus, under the leadership of Choral Master David Powell, brings Brahms’s words to heartfelt life. The chorus is composed of about 50 accomplished community members who have been rehearsing weekly since January.

Tickets range from $21 to $54 and are available exclusively through the Eureka Symphony’s website at www.eurekasymphony.org/requiem or by calling (707) 845-3655. Patrons are encouraged to purchase directly from the official website to avoid third-party scams.

Families are especially welcome: with every adult ticket purchased, up to two children under 12 are admitted free. Special rates are also available for student groups.

For the 11th season, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild tours the American West. Mountain tops, old-growth forests, and sunny meadows replace the traditional concert hall in the series featuring pianist Hunter Noack on a 9-foot Steinway concert grand piano. Listen through wireless headphones and wander afield with the music as a soundtrack to your experience in the wild.

Two nights of concerts: May 30 and May 31

Hart-Tish Park sits along the shores of Applegate Lake just south of Jacksonville, within Oregon’s Applegate Valley. The concert site slopes gently toward clear, calm water, with wide-open views across the lake to the Red Butte Wilderness—an ideal setting for an evening of music outdoors.

The park’s name comes from the Takelma word Hartish, meaning “heart of the lake,” recognizing this place as the ancestral homeland of the Umpqua, Modoc, Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples. Visitors are welcome to spend the day exploring nearby trails, swimming, or renting a stand-up paddleboard before the concert.

With thanks to our sponsors & partners at A Greater Applegate, Travel Southern Oregon, and Wander Applegate, and to our hosts at Hart-Tish Park Campground.
