The Oregon Symphony In September: A Big Opening For A Memorable Season
Back from its summer hiatus, the Oregon Symphony kicks off its 2010/11 concert season in a way only Portland’s largest performing-arts organization could: With a free outdoor community celebration and concert expected to draw more than 15,000 listeners. The orchestra then moves a few blocks to its usual home, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, for four more spectacular September concerts, including the opening event of the 2010 Time-Based Art Festival, an appearance by violin star Joshua Bell and a special benefit concert to raise money for the orchestra’s historic trip to New York next spring, where it will make its long-awaited debut at music’s most prestigious venue, Carnegie Hall.
