Gorge Sinfonietta presents NIGHTS OF ROMANCE

In CGOA’s biggest, boldest and most emotion-filled program ever, the Gorge Sinfonietta presents Nights of Romance on November 18 at 7 PM and November 20 at 2 PM. at Wy’east Middle School’s Performing Arts Center.

The concerts focus on some of the most popular music from the 19th century Romantic tradition. What that means is music with emotional intensity and drama. “The music of Classical composers like Mozart was defined by order and symmetry,” said Sinfonietta conductor Mark Steighner. ‘But the music of the Romantic period was often drowning in passion and originality.” Not all Romantic music is about tragic love stories, Steighner said, but explores a wide range of emotions.

Tickets for the Nights of Romance are $25 for adults ($15 for CGOA members), $5 for youth ages 10-17, and free for kids under 10. The concerts will be presented at Wy’east Middle School’s Performing Arts Center, 3000 Wy’east Rd in Odell. There will be a limited number of $5 tickets for those with SNAP or Oregon Trail Cards.

Tickets are available through CGOA’s website: gorgeorchestra.org.
