Fun fact, my paternal grandmother was a Knievel (yes *that* Knievel family). So when our new Associate Concertmaster, Jessica, showed up dressed as Evel (with a helmet too) I knew we had to take a pic together. Happy Halloween! 🎃 🏍️ 👠

Lolllllllll, I worked in the orchestra business. Where to even begin?

Many OSO musicians joined the tens of thousands of Oregonians who marched in their communities on Saturday, and these colleagues shared some moments from their days in downtown Portland and the metro area.

🧵It has been clear for years that a key difference between past instances of book banning and the present censorship cataclysm is that the banning happening now targets not only books, but librarianship as a profession and libraries as an institution. 1/4
