This season, the harmony, rhythm, and power of nature takes centerstage for the Oregon Symphony. Whether it’s birdsong or the flight of a solo flute, our world vibrates with sounds that transport us to a place of breathless awe. That interplay of nature and music is the focus of this season and our Young People’s Concert. This program will give insight into the inspiration that the incredible natural world has provided to composers throughout music history.
