Dace Gregory, cello, and Rachel Palen, piano, share an evening of Musical Moments of Wonder.
World-renowned cellist Dace Gregory has performed as a soloist across the USA, Japan, and Europe. Born in Riga, Latvia, and educated at the Moscow Conservatory, her love of music was shaped early by her parents’ deep connection to emotion in sound and the natural world. Moving to Langlois in 2022, Gregory lives on a beautiful ranch with her life partner, Bennett.
Festival audiences will remember her from 2024 and from her 2025 return as soloist performing Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor with the orchestra. She recently performed her first duo with pianist Rachel Palen at the Coos Singers Holiday Concert.
Rachel Palen was raised in Coos County and spent her early years developing a deep connection to the natural world and enjoying music. Rachel received praise early on for her raw, emotional piano performances.
She studied at Southern Oregon University and Stony Brook in New York and became sought after as a performer and accompanist.
After a career altering accident, Rachel returned to the coast and worked as accompanist for Coos Bay schools. In 2017, she was diagnosed with leukemia and has worked to continue her music and accommodate daily chemo treatments.
In 2025, she and Dace collaborated to provide an outstanding performance for the Coos Singers Holiday Concert. This collaboration brought great joy to the performers and the audience and serves as a testament to the healing power of music.
Along with the locally based Swingin’ in the Rain Big Band, under the direction of Stephen Simpkins is composed of musicians with a strong interest in swing music with a desire to pass it on to new generations. The sounds of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey and others, plus favorites from the fifties and early sixties will provide a session of nostalgia and dance music that listeners will want to enjoy time and time again. We may see a few guest artists join the group for this concert.

The Ashland City Band begins their 2026 season at the bandshell in Lithia Park, June 18, at 7:00 PM. The free concerts will be presented every Thursday through August 20. With roots dating back to 1876, the 70-member band has continued its park concerts since the early 1920s and is Southern Oregon’s oldest performing-arts organization. The band plays a variety of original works, transcriptions, marches and musicals, often featuring a guest soloist or ensemble. The Ashland Lions Club will again sell ice cream bars and donate the proceeds to the band programs at Ashland Middle School and High School.

Yagody is a Ukrainian theater and music group performing in the genre of "ethno-drama" and theatrical performance.

YAGÓDY (meaning "Berries") are one of the most electrifying Ukrainian folk acts on the international stage today. Founded in Lviv by Zoryana Dybovska, the ensemble is rooted in Ukrainian and Balkan musical traditions, bringing a modern and gripping sound through theatrical singers supported by drums, percussion, guitar, bass, and accordion.

Pioneers of the genre they call "ethno-drama,"Yagódy enrich every performance with theatrical elements - intricate costumes, masks, and storytelling - to create a powerful and unforgettable live experience. Their original song “Tsunamia" earned them fifth place out of 37 entries as they represented Ukraine in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, a breakthrough moment that brought their singular sound to a global audience of millions.

Audiences leave Yagódy concerts with full hearts. The music is built on pure emotion, and linguistic barriers simply melt away. Pulsating Balkan rhythms and soaring Ukrainian vocals make every show an experience, whether the band is reinterpreting a generations-old folk tune or emotionally honoring those defending Ukraine. They actively tour Europe and organize charity concerts abroad including the US and Canada.

Joe Marcinek: Is he the man with no band or the man with dozens of bands? The answer is both, actually, if the man is Joe Marcinek. Technically, he has no one band. On the other hand, seemingly at a moment’s he can conjure up an all-star lineup for a night or a week. The Indiana guitarist has again cast his net and snared a brilliant quartet.
