Did you Know?

In the early 1870s, the clay for the bricks used to construct the UO's first two buildings, Deady Hall and Villard Hall, was dug from the northeast corner of the Eugene Masonic Cemetery. Altogether, over a million bricks were made from that clay.

The Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association Presents

Music To Die For 

a free summer music series  
 


THE EUGENE RECORDER ORCHESTRA
October 30th at 2 PM
Hope Abbey Mausoleum 

The Eugene Recorder Orchestra plays music from medieval to modern, on recorders from tiny to tremendous. The group has played venues in Eugene and Springfield since the 1970s. In Renaissance music, the pure tones of the recorder indicated the presence of the supernatural.  This Halloween weekend, under the direction of Dave Goudy, the Recorder Orchestra offers music from guiding spirits of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods.

All Music To Die For programs are held in Hope Abbey Mausoleum on the grounds of the Eugene Masonic Cemetery, 25th & University, and begin at 2 PM. All MTDF programs are free. Seating is limited so please arrive a bit early.

Parking on the cemetery grounds is extremely limited, but both gates are open to allow alter-abled people access to Hope Abbey. Regular parking is available on nearby city streets.

This is the last free concert for 2016. Music To Die For will return next year beginning on June 25th, 2017. Thanks to all who have attended, this, our 5th season.

Eric Mentzel, founder of Vox Resonat, is glad to see the group performing in the historic mausoleum for a third time. "Hope Abbey is the idea place for a musical memorial. The acoustics of the building are wonderful for vocal music; singing this repertoire in this building for this occasion is just perfect."Read more here:
