2026/27 Season
Classical Concerts
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.
Holst’s The Planets
Holst’s popular The Planets joins two astronomical fantasies—Saariaho’s Asteroid 4179: Toutatis, inspired by an asteroid, and Frank’s Picaflor: A future myth, from the sky kingdom of Andean legend.
Kahane, Still & Copland
Explore the American spirit with Still’s Fourth Symphony, storytelling from Portland resident Gabriel Kahane, and the fusion of music and literature in Copland’s eloquent portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
Stravinsky & Beethoven
Michael Gordon’s cross-cultural Natural History, Beethoven’s vivacious first symphony, Stravinsky’s experimental wind-and-brass ‘symphonies’, and a premiere by native Oregonian Grace Miedziak comprise this celebration of the Pacific Northwest.
Mahler’s Symphony No. 6
Mahler’s Sixth Symphony surely “embraces the whole.” Darkness and light join forces in a gigantic musical canvas that culminates in titanic “hammer blows of fate.”
Shostakovich & Rachmaninoff
The surrealism of Shin’s Kafka’s Dream and the virtuosity of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, with pianist Marc-André Hamelin, join the strife of revolution in Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 “The Year 1905.”
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.
Enigma Variations
Elgar’s landmark “Enigma” Variations and his protégé Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade in A minor join Oregon Symphony concertmaster Sarah Kwak playing The Butterfly Lovers concerto, one of the most famous orchestral pieces by a Chinese composer.
Romance & Devotion with the Oregon Symphony
Valentine’s Day passion: Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and Berlioz’s Overture to Shakespeare’s ever-witty lovers Béatrice et Bénédict. Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande and Dvořák’s Violin Concerto round out this symphonic lovefest.
Bizet & Boléro
Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski joins the Symphony in Ginastera’s Concierto argentino and Albéniz’s Rapsodia española, together with Bizet’s sparkling and melodic Symphony in C Major and a fascinating essay in hypnotic repetition, Ravel’s Boléro.
Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony
Mendelssohn’s effervescent “Italian” Symphony is joined by Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, featuring soloists from Chamber Music Northwest. Portlander Kenji Bunch’s 2022 fanfare, inspired by Oregon’s state motto, celebrates independence and individual strength.
Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3
Rachmaninoff’s final symphony, written in America, joins Bernstein’s touching Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium) and Sophia Jani’s joy in new motherhood in this program of modern masters.
Don Quixote
Two musical portrayals of literary heroes, Lord Byron’s Manfred and Cervantes’ Don Quixote, are joined by an orchestral version of Berg’s darkly expressionist Piano Sonata.
Beethoven’s Emperor
Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 captivates with its golden glow, while Beethoven’s grandiose “Emperor” piano concerto reflects the Napoleonic era. CPE Bach, deeply admired by both Mozart and Beethoven, rounds out the program with an energetic symphony.
Mozart’s Mass in C Minor
Harrison’s Heart Sūtra (Lo Koro Sutro in Esperanto) provides a special introduction to Mozart’s beloved but incomplete Mass in C Minor, filled with exquisite arias and stirring choruses.
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.”
Stravinsky’s Petrushka
Noted Gershwin interpreter Jean-Yves Thibaudet plays the Concerto in F, joined by Stravinsky’s sad-sack, lovesick puppet Petrushka and Poulenc’s whimsical Les Biches for a light-hearted romp of a concert.
Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky’s resplendent Violin Concerto, with 2019 Queen Elisabeth Competition winner Stella Chen, joins Scriabin’s joyful and transcendent Poem of Ecstasy, complemented by a sunrise and a swarm of witches from Mussorgsky.
