See our billboards yet? There are 14 all over Portland—go find one! And, if you see one out in the wild, take a picture (bonus points for a selfie), note the cross streets, TAG US, and we'll hook you up with a free ticket for any concert between 6/27 and 7/9. We’re excited to do outdoor advertising this year, and we want to make some fun out of it!

Congratulations to Chris Thile on being named Ojai Music Festival’s Music Director for 2027!

The Grammy Award-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer, and MacArthur Fellow will be making his first Ojai Festival appearance, which will also signal the beginning of Artistic and Executive Director Designate Teddy Abrams’s tenure.

We’re so looking forward to welcoming Chris back to CMNW for his solo concert, An Evening with Chris Thile: Master of the Mandolin, on July 10. (And it’s sure to sell out, so get your tickets while you can at cmnw.org!)

Congrats, Chris, and see you soon!
