Music on the Patio

We are excited to announce our Music on the Patio event.

As each summer draws near, we have had the same dream: to combine the healing nature of the spa with the restorative sounds of music. We are absolutely thrilled to make it happen this year!

On June 5, 2026, we will be offering an extra-long spa session (2 hours and 15 minutes), along with a 60-minute set of cello music, performed by Eric Alterman. Eric will share a soothing set of music for solo cello, including meditative improvisations, selections from Bach’s cello suites, folk music, and original compositions. Read more about Eric Alterman below.

Music will be performed on the back patio (hot tub area). As this is a shared-space event, we ask that everyone be conscientious about sharing the space. Limit your hot tub use and rotate out after 10 minutes. If everyone does this, all guests should have at least 20 minutes of hot tub time during the performance. While a towel may normally suffice, we recommend bringing a robe or wrap to stay comfortable.

Unlike at a normal venue, we need to taper arrival/departure times to allow for space at check-ins, locker-room time, and showers. We will group appointments to arrive and check in/out in 15-minute increments. Regardless of the time you choose, you will have at least 15 minutes either before the music begins or after it ends, plus additional spa time. See schedule options to the left.

Important: All guests must have a spa waiver on file to participate in this evening and be booked under their name/profile. If you do not already have a spa waiver on file, please use the link below to complete a waiver before making your reservation.

Eric Alterman

Bio: Cellist Eric Alterman, born and raised in New York City, has led a varied musical life spanning continents and roles as a chamber musician, orchestral performer, soloist, and composer. While residing in Rio de Janeiro, he performed for five years as a section cellist and assistant principal in the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira, appearing with Brazilian musical legends including Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, and Gal Costa.

Now based in Portland as cellist of the Delgani String Quartet, called by Oregon ArtsWatch “the state’s finest chamber ensemble,” he curates a season of string quartet programs in Portland, Eugene, Corvallis, and Salem. Known throughout the region for his heartfelt, expressive playing, Eugene Scene writes that Alterman “revealed the cello’s achingly soulful side.” He appears regularly with the Portland Cello Project, is a frequent guest in the Oregon Symphony cello section, and serves as Assistant Principal Cello of the Eugene Symphony.

Alterman’s passion for creativity and improvisation has also made him a frequent collaborator across artistic disciplines. He has created music for dancers, performed with numerous bands, presented improvised solo sets, and writes and performs original folk music for voice, guitar, and cello.
