Season Highlights
Piazzolla & Edna Vazquez
Piazzolla’s nuevo tango style meets mariachi flair in this exploration of Latin American folk traditions, featuring Héctor Del Curto on bandoneón and the rich vocals of Portland’s own Edna Vazquez.
Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5
Genre-bending cellist, singer, and improviser Abel Selaocoe plays Montgomery’s new cello concerto, joined by the many moods of Tchaikovsky’s much-loved Symphony No. 5 and the effervescence of Glinka’s Overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla.
Psycho in Concert
Experience Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic thriller live in concert as Bernard Herrmann’s string-only score brings a palpable tension to the film that takes the already unsettling story to a new level of terror.
John Craigie with the Oregon Symphony
Portland’s folk troubadour John Craigie joins the Oregon Symphony for a night of Americana with an orchestral kick, teeming with the sincerity and lyricism that have made Craigie’s music resonate with audiences across the country.
Emanuel Ax Plays Beethoven
Unfinished Tenths – symphonies by Beethoven and Schubert – join a (finished) Symphonic Sketch by former Portlander Salvador Brotons, together with famed pianist Emanuel Ax playing Beethoven’s lyrical Piano Concerto No. 4.
Danzmayr & Porter
Bruckner’s monumental and incomplete final symphony, with its extremes of expression and majestic orchestral sonics, joins Mozart’s most ambitious (and rambunctious) violin concerto, the “Turkish.”
