We were thrilled to host the Oregon Symphony of Salem Spring Donor Recital here in our Auditorium. This was an evening of music and celebration, including an exclusive preview of the 2026/27 Salem Season, shared with donors, season ticket holders, and residents ahead of the public announcement. Post-concert desserts made by our culinary team and wine from Cristom Vineyards also made the evening extra special.

Capital Manor has long supported Marion Polk Food Share’s mission of ending hunger and its root causes and we are proud to have them as one of our not-for-profit partners again this year. In Oregon, one in eight neighbors and one in six children lack regular access to the foods they need to live a healthy life. We believe that together we can make a meaningful difference in the fight against hunger in our local community. Please join us by donating food, particularly SHELF-STABLE DAIRY, OATS OR CEREAL, SHELF-STABLE FRUIT, TUNA, and PEANUT BUTTER or funds.

We were honored to welcome Anita King back to Capital Manor for another beautiful installment of our Exploring Classical Music series. This time, she guided us through the expressive and powerful sounds of Chopin, including a stunning performance of Ballade No. 4 in F Minor.

As always, Anita combined extraordinary musicianship with thoughtful commentary, helping us experience the music on a deeper level. We are so grateful for the knowledge, artistry, and passion she continues to share with our community. Thank you, Anita, for another unforgettable evening!

We had a wonderful time welcoming The Two Bit Brothers to Capital Manor for an evening of great music and rich vocal harmonies. Bill Valach and Dwaine Wisthoff brought their signature warmth, energy, and passion to every song, filling the room with familiar favorites and plenty of smiles. One of the most special moments came at the very end of the concert, when—right on the spot—the brothers put music to lyrics written by one of our own residents. It was a spontaneous and heartfelt collaboration that made the evening truly unforgettable. Thank you, Two Bit Brothers, for sharing your music and creating such a meaningful memory with our community!
