The dawn of a new day! Celebrate light, renewal, and the limitless potential of a fresh beginning.

Pianist–composer Dan Tepfer reimagines fifteen of Bach’s Inventions—interwoven with nine of his own—as living works, unfolding in real time through improvisation and algorithmic interplay. Experience the blending of Baroque clarity with jazz spontaneity, where structure sparks freedom, and invention becomes discovery. Each performance is both composition and experiment—honoring Bach’s ingenuity while boldly reinventing it for the present moment. J.S. Bach/Tepfer : Inventions / Reinventions Dan Tepfer, piano Artists, dates, times, repertoire, and venues are subject to change.

Before Telemann became one of the most prolific composers of the Baroque era, he was a young scholar expected to study law—much like countless students who arrive at college, still discovering where their true passions lie. Telemann’s bold decision to leave law and follow his musical calling resonates powerfully as the University of Oregon celebrates 150 years of curiosity, courage, and unexpected journeys. OBF honors Telemann’s audacious leap and UO’s century-and-a-half commitment to nurturing explorers, innovators, and occasional academic detours—performed in a community that encourages Ducks to chart their own course.
