Experience an evening of drama, virtuosity, and vivid storytelling as the University of Oregon Symphony Orchestra presents Verdi’s La forza del destino—an electrifying work of fate and passion—followed by Danzi’s charming Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon. The concert culminates in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, a sweeping and iconic symphonic tale inspired by One Thousand and One Nights.

The Corvallis Outdoor Farmers Markets operate every Saturday and Wednesday until the day before Thanksgiving, with a bonus market on Dec. 6.

Find fruits and vegetables, plants, or cut flowers, gathered and cultivated mushrooms, or are raising meat, poultry, eggs or honey.

What’s in season varies from week to week and is influenced by weather and production methods, including the tall greenhouses called “high tunnels” that some farmers use.

The TEAL Artist Coop will opens its seasonal store on Oct. 31 at 328 SW 2nd St. in downtown Corvallis. Every October, the team of artists transforms an otherwise vacant storefront into a gallery offering unique gifts, hand-made in the Willamette Valley. The store will be open through Dec. 28.

This year, 21 artists are participating in TEAL, and the gallery—staffed by the artists—will sell fine works of fiber, leather, glass, wood, mixed media and paper, as well as ceramics, jewelry and paintings.

TEAL makes a charitable donation earmarked for art education from a portion of its annual gallery proceeds. This year’s recipient will be Mountain View Elementary School in Corvallis.
