Portland, OR (Violin Concerto No.1)

October 5

https://www.orsymphony.org/productions/2526/rachmaninoffs-symphony-no-2

Overview

Rachmaninoff’s ultra-Romantic Symphony No. 2 enfolds you with sweeping melodies, lush orchestrations, and inspired lyrical passages. The composer himself said: “Music is born only of the heart and it appeals to the heart. It is love.” You’ll need no further proof than this gorgeous work. Opening our concert is a piece by a titan among minimalists, Philip Glass. Our new Artist-in-Residence Simone Porter launches the Concerto with propulsive force, then invites you to lose yourself in the harmonies of the Adagio, and leaves you breathless in the sensational last movement—but gives you a final moment to dream about the journey you’ve just taken.
