The Tilikum Chamber Orchestra presents a concert that could be pulled from the salons of Paris, circa 1925. This show of intimate chamber orchestra works features music composed in or nearby Paris, includes Mozart’s famous “Paris Symphony,” which Mozart wrote in the city while prospecting for potential employers at age 22.
Fauré’s “Masques et Bergamasques” and André Caplet’s “Légende” explore colorful orchestrations and gorgeous expressive melodies typical of the late Romantic style, while Gail Sophie’s masterful and newly re-discovered 1815 work “Overture to ‘The Jealous Two'” is full of vigorous energy and delightful charm. We are also delighted to present local composer Nicole Buetti’s work for string orchestra, “Sforza!”

Boris Giltburg, whose “pianism is ideally suited to late Beethoven … enormously pleasurable and revelatory” (BBC Music Magazine), opens his PPI recitals with the composer’s lyrically rhapsodic Sonata No. 31 — a work of both serene respite and operatic pathos that, even upon first listen, envelops the soul with its loving embrace.
From a dark, desolate opening to the heavenly ascension experienced in its final phrase, Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor charts a journey of emotional catharsis filled with plenty of heart-racing moments, while Rachmaninoff’s final preludes showcase the composer’s ability to create grand cinematic scenes using even the most miniature of musical forms.

Oregon Repertory Singers and Youth Choir welcome Union High School’s string orchestra for Glory of Christmas! This year we’re not only celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Oregon Repertory Singers and the 30th Anniversary of ORS Youth Choir, but the 40th and final year of teaching for Tim Siess, Union High School orchestra director and long-time member of Oregon Repertory Singers! Choir and orchestra will combine for movements of Vivaldi’s famous Gloria, as well as music by Ola Gjeilo, Randall Thompson, and a new orchestration of Written for You by our very own Naomi LaViolette, also celebrating a milestone—20 years with ORS! The choir will also sing holiday favorites including Eriks Esenvalds’ Stars for choir and tuned wine-glasses, and Ethan Sperry’s unfortunate medley of Hannukah songs.

Join us as we open our 2023-2024 concert season with an audible tour of a musical art gallery. There is no admission charge. Doors open at 6PM with artists and pre-concert music in the lobby.
Where artists paint on canvas with paint, composers paint in the air with music. The composers featured in this concert are experts at creating memorable pictures through with their music. There are adventures of men fighting dragons (Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons), stirring memorials (Silent Stands the Elm), gorgeous scenery (As the North Wind Blows), the clash of industry (Raging Machines), and more. The Gershwin medley is sure invoke images of Paris, the American South, and more. And of course, there will be a march to get your feet tapping. As an added bonus, Lakeridge High School’s band director, Daniel Hartley, will guest conduct two of these “paintings”. The uniqueness of this concert is that everyone’s experience will be different. There is no multi-media to tell you what the musical paintings look like; they will look like what your mind conjures up; personalized to your own artistic tastes, whether they be memories of your own past experiences or imaginings of something new and wonderful. We hope you will come join us and let your imagination fly free.

BEE زنبور is a new play from Off-Broadway that explores the strength of family, fleeing your home, and immigration. It is based on a true story about Izat, a young Iranian girl trapped in an abusive marriage in the 1940s. In an unprecedented move, her father is able to use his influence to secure a divorce for her. Moving back and forth in time from 1940 to 2009, the story follows Izat’s struggles on her path toward a better life. BEE زنبور takes further inspiration from a collection of interviews with Middle Eastern immigrants and refugees and weaves between the scenes movement and music.

Boris Giltburg, whose “pianism is ideally suited to late Beethoven … enormously pleasurable and revelatory” (BBC Music Magazine), opens his PPI recitals with the composer’s lyrically rhapsodic Sonata No. 31 — a work of both serene respite and operatic pathos that, even upon first listen, envelops the soul with its loving embrace.
From a dark, desolate opening to the heavenly ascension experienced in its final phrase, Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor charts a journey of emotional catharsis filled with plenty of heart-racing moments, while Rachmaninoff’s final preludes showcase the composer’s ability to create grand cinematic scenes using even the most miniature of musical forms.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve presented a program that focuses entirely on Christmas repertoire,” said Christian McKee, the orchestra’s music director. “So, this December, we’re going to do Christmas from top to bottom, in a variety of styles. Listeners will hear music from the early 17th century as well as contemporary favorites, and composers as diverse as J.S. Bach, and Johnny Hodges. Everything from carols to pop songs! There may even be singalongs!
“All in all,” McKee said, “it will be a musical equivalent of a cup of cocoa and a Santa hat — and every bit as cozy.”
Special guests: The Newport Nightingales
For the past seven years, this upbeat vocal trio has re-created the engaging, three-part harmonies and bouncy rhythms that captivated American radio audiences of the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Drawing inspiration from the Andrews Sisters, Boswell Sisters, Peggy Lee and the Mills Brothers, the Nightingales have attracted a dedicated following in Portland-area clubs.

Moving back and forth in time from 1940 to 2009, the story follows Izat’s struggles on her path toward a better life.

Moving back and forth in time from 1940 to 2009, the story follows Izat’s struggles on her path toward a better life.
