The Historic Holly Theatre Presents:

CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE Performs Pink Floyd’s THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Originally released in 1973, The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the most influential albums in music history. Its iconic imagery, innovative production, and expansive sound reshaped popular music and defined an era. More than five decades later, the album continues to resonate deeply with audiences across generations.

Classic Albums Live brings this legendary recording to the stage exactly as it was created. Performed note-for-note and cut-for-cut, the album is recreated live by a roster of world-class musicians. The performance uses no backing tracks, samples, or computers. Every sound is performed live, honoring the precision, complexity, and emotional depth of the original recording.

From the album’s opening heartbeat to the soaring vocals of The Great Gig in the Sky, each detail is carefully reproduced with deep respect for the music and its legacy. This performance holds a special place in the Classic Albums Live catalog, having been one of the series’ earliest and most defining productions.

Experience one of the greatest albums ever recorded, performed in full, inside a historic venue built for sound, community, and shared moments.

This Voice/Classical Guitar duet performs a beautiful mix of vintage and international jazz from Jobim, Gershwin, Mancini and contemporary artists. Come experience one of Southern Oregon’s most exciting new venues, offering healthy gourmet meals and small bites, espresso drinks and cocktails - all with an Italian flair.

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.

This Voice/Classical Guitar duet performs a beautiful mix of vintage and international jazz from Jobim, Gershwin, Mancini and contemporary artists.
