Originally starting out as covers of their favorite bands like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Soundgarden, and Black Sabbath, the group has also released five recorded albums featuring Sophia Urista on vocals, as well as Liza Colby, Michael Cunio, Samuel Hope, and others. The electric mix of curated seminal heavy rock songs plus original music brings audiences together around the world. From Copenhagen to Cologne, Manchester to Milan, New York to LA, Brass Against is playing the songs that audiences grew up with–and keeping fans enthralled
throughout the whole set.
Since its inception, Brass Against has had the goal of creating music that resonates with people’s emotions and encourages them to act. The music itself is edgy and empowering, but it’s also about escapism from the chaos and turmoil of everyday life, especially as life imitates some of the same patterns that prompted the band’s founding. Shows regularly include calls to
love, understanding and peace through mindfulness.
Rage. Energy. Motivation. Community. Acceptance…Brass Against is providing the sound of the times…and a magnetic soundtrack to daily life.
WVSO Concert I: Tchaikovsky Discovers America
The Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra presents Tchaikovsky Discovers America by Classical Kids LIVE!
Based on the actual historical event, this story tells of the great composer’s arrival in New York for the grand opening of Carnegie Hall in 1891 and his famous trip to Niagara Falls. A surprise encounter with a young American girl, Jennie, reveals much about Tchaikovsky – his life in Russia, his love of music and his fears of conducting. This is a poignant story of the meeting of old world influences and new world experiences; a tale of contrast, courage and classical music.

Arturo Sandoval
10-time Grammy Award Winner
A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a small town in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American Jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world. He has since evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer

Mini Quest Tavern Presents “The Curse of Graybeard’s Treasure”
An audience interactive pirate-themed adventure! 2pm is for all ages and at the 7:30 show it's 18 & up only
It's a scripted play, with costumes, props, sound, and projections to help the audience imagine the locations in the story as the performers move through the room. The hero characters do not have scripts. They improvise their actions, reactions, battles and dialogue with the help of the audience-players who tell them what to do. There are 15 talented local actors in this production. There is a funny “DM” or Dungeon Master who tells the story, introduces non-player characters and presides over the action and decisions being made. His word is law, but if you are familiar with the “Dungeons and Dragons” rule book, don’t expect this show to contain all the detailed rules and mechanics used in normal tabletop roleplaying. Your quest will be completed start to finish in two hours. We are here to entertain and make you laugh and cheer. Our simplified rule set is geared for the enjoyment of complete novice and experienced player alike.
Ticket link: https://purchase.numericapac.org/EventAvailability...
The 2pm matinee is suitable for ages 8 and up. The 7:30pm evening show will have more mature content. and is for those over 18 only
Many of our followers like to attend in costume. This is welcome but not required. There will be a prize for best costume at each performance.
The VIP Player Tables will choose the hero who will be their avatar in the show from a selection of ten different characters. They will be given character sheets for their hero, and everyone at the table will work together to make choices when they are presented, and roll dice to use their talents and skills in battle.
General Admission ticket holders will have seats on risers with a view of the full playing area and will have the opportunity to help name characters and places, and vote on the paths the story will take.

Tasting with Isenhower Cellars at Norwood
Isenhower Cellars was founded in 1999 by Denise and Brett Isenhower and was the 18th winery in Walla Walla. It is one of the very few medium sized Washington wineries that is 100% husband and wife owned and operated.
Isenhower is focused on minimalist winemaking, which you know we love to support. Minimalist Winemaking is a philosophy of only light intervention in the natural process of winemaking. This style of winemaking produces wines with a lightness of touch and a depth of character. Every bottle is age worthy, fresh, and interesting. Their long history in Walla Walla means they also are sourcing from some of the highest quality vineyards in Washington State.
We are excited to have them back in the area, so don’t miss this opportunity to try these carefully crafted wines!

Presents Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Directed by Christina Capehart | Produced by Jaime Donegan
Book by Jeffrey Lane | Music & Lyrics by David Yazbek
August 1-2, 6-9, 13 -16 at 7:30 pm
Matinees: August 9 & 16 at 1:30 pm
Based on the film "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"
written by Dale Launer and Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning
Original Broadway production directed by Jack O'Brien
Two con men, a beautiful woman and the elite of the French Riviera collide in this sexy and irreverent farce.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and was nominated for a staggering eleven Tony Awards.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
