Joining us again at the Opera House is Orion Weiss. One of the most sought-after soloists and chamber music collaborators of his generation, Weiss is widely regarded as a “brilliant pianist” (The New York Times) with “powerful technique and exceptional insight” (The Washington Post). With a warmth to his playing that outwardly reflects his engaging personality, Weiss’s “delicate, even fingerwork” (Washington Classical Review) and “head-spinning range of colors” (Chicago Tribune) have dazzled audiences around the world. He has performed with all of the major orchestras of North America, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic.
Weiss’ program at the Opera House will include Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

Guided Bicycle Trail Ride
Ride the North Central State Trail to the Barbara
Hoffius Preserve and Back
Hoffius Preserve Bicycle Ride Tour
By Cheboygan Trails Council
Beginning at 8;30 am at Festival Square Jim Conboy will lead a bike ride north on the North Central State Trail to and back from the Hoffius Preserve just off US 23. The total round trip distance is 15 1/2 miles. A volunteer will sweep to make sure no one is left behind. Once at the Preserve bikes will be left at the entrance, with a volunteer, and riders will walk about 1/2 mile down to the shore of Lake Huron where the beauty of the Lake can be appreciated. Total time 2 3/4 to 3hours.
While the trail is flat, riders should be prepared to ride the distance comfortably. It is not a ride for young children. Since the path to the shore of Lake Huron includes steps and uneven ground, comfortable walking shoes are advised. Helmets are encouraged.
It would be appreciated if you would sign up for the ride though that is not required to participate.
