“Brilliance is not a strong enough word — it’s more like an electric shock. The music transfixes the listener from literally the very first note, electrifying heart and brain without any advance warning…the Mandelring Quartett, under extreme tension, heated and feverish, is dangerously close to catching fire!” Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Chamber Music Concerts (CMC) presents the Mandelring Quartett on Saturday, March 14 at 3pm at the Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall, 450 S Mountain Ave, Ashland, OR. Purchase tickets at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or call 541-552-6154.

Audiences will be thrilled to welcome a long-time favorite, the Mandelring Quartett, as the four affable Germans return to the stage in Ashland for a single performance.

Named by Fono Forum as one of the six best string quartets in the world, the Mandelring Quartett’s expressivity and remarkable homogeneity of sound have become its distinguishing characteristics. Formed in 1983 in the German wine region in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, three Schmidt siblings — Sebastian, Nanette and Bernhard — join with violist Andreas Willwohl in an approach to music that is always emotional and personal. The Mandelring Quartett celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2023.

The Mandelring's concert program for CMC features Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in D Major, Op. 44 no. 1; Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet in F-sharp Minor, Op 108; and Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet in C Major, Op. 59 no. 3

Tickets are $39/49, with discounts available for full-time students and Oregon Trail Card holders. Purchase online at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or by calling 541-552-6154.

The Fretliners headline an evening of bluegrass music fun at the Langlois Cheese Factory on Saturday, March 14. The live music concert opens with special guest Boomscooter. Doors to the show open at 6:15 p.m. Tide to Table will be serving locally-sourced food items for purchase. Attendees are welcome to BYO drinks.

The Colorado-based Fretliners burst onto the bluegrass scene in 2023, capturing top band titles at both the Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass competitions. They are known for their songwriting, which pairs creative storytelling with powerful harmonies rooted in an acoustic sound that feels both timeless and innovative. The collective quartet may be relatively new, but the experience and instrument abilities are years in the making for band members who have honed their skills on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and bass. The Langlois Cheese Factory is just one stop on this rising band’s tour that will take them to bluegrass festivals and renowned venues across the country this year.

The Cheese Factory is located just off the west side of Highway 101 at 94179 Allen Boice Drive in Langlois. Historically, the building was used for cheesemaking, but these days it is a venue for concerts, events, and private celebrations.

Welcome to the Winter of Rebellion

Our after-hours speakeasy-style series where wine flows, jazz smolders, and comedy keeps things dangerously fun through the winter months. We’re hosting a rotating lineup of intimate nights filled with live jazz, stand-up comedy, and that underground energy you didn’t know you needed this season.

Each evening has its own personality — some nights smooth and soulful, others laugh-out-loud ridiculous — but every night will be one to remember!

Here’s how it works

Show up hungry and ready to relax into sultry jazz music or to laugh so hard you have to try not to spit your wine everywhere.

Comedy Nights

A ticket price of $25 per person will be charged at the door on comedy nights to support our local artists. Please no children. 21+ only. These jokes will not be family friendly.

Jazz Nights

Jazz nights are free to attend. These nights are meant for everyone. Perfect for families.

Reservations are appreciated. Walk-ins are always welcome

LOVE CHAOS KIN (98 min) is an intimate documentary that follows white-presenting, Navajo-descent twins and their South Asian adoptive parents over 12 years. The film captures their complex reckoning with identity, race, and belonging as the children reconnect with their struggling white birth mother and, eventually, their estranged Navajo birth father.

It is being shown at the Disorient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon on Saturday at 8:15 pm at the Art House Eugene Theater #2, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

It’s rare for a documentary to follow a single family through an entire cycle of childhood, capturing the raw, unscripted evolution of identity and feelings about adoption. The film tackles modern Native American erasure subtly and the ethics of cross-cultural adoption—topics such as immigration and American Identity that are currently at the forefront of national conversations.
