Your Symphony.
Back together again, with you.
Join us at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for an extraordinary
Oregon Symphony 2021/22 Season, as we come together
and celebrate the orchestra, our 125th Anniversary, and the
debut of Music Director David Danzmayr. Together, we’ll
experience a season filled with concerts of exceptional
vibrancy and cultural diversity, building on the 18-year legacy
of Music Director Laureate Carlos Kalmar. And, in an exciting
new partnership with a creative alliance of musical luminaries,
your Oregon Symphony will bring the power of music to more
people in new ways, both on and off the stage.
As we reunite with our audience, there is much to celebrate.
We can’t wait to experience the joy and healing power of live
music with you once again.

thoughtful musicians, it came as no surprise to
me that Oregonians have been on full display in
welcoming me to this generous community.”
