It is a theater lover’s dream. The focus becomes so singular that you are enthralled by the craftsmanship of playwright, director, and actors.”

This concert features the winners of our annual Young Artists competition. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has a pair of features as well: we open with Albert Roussel’s colorful, impressionistic music for his ballet Bacchus et Ariane. Composed in 1930, the work is based upon the Classical myth of Ariadne, princess of Crete. The most well-known part of the story has her falling in love with the Greek hero Theseus, and helping him to defeat the horrible Minotaur. Ariadne is later abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, where she encounters the god Bacchus (Dionysus) and becomes his queen. The ballet, featuring choreography by Serge Lifar and sets by surrealist painter Giorio de Chirico, was a success, and Roussel published two suites from its score—the music of the suites is largely unchanged from the music of the ballet’s two acts.

After the Young Artist selections, we close with sensuous, and sometimes rowdy music from Manuel de Falla’s Spanish-themed ballet The Three-Cornered Hat which was the result of a commission by impresario Serge Diaghilev for his famous ballet company, the Ballets Russe. The ballet is in two scenes, with Alarcón’s farcical story set as a series of traditional Andalucian dances. The two suites draw on the main musical episodes of these two scenes, and are presented in the order of the original ballet score. The ballet opens with a bold trumpet fanfare, and then more languid music with flashes of humor that sets the scene. The second scene begins with a pair of thoroughly macho flourishes from the horn and English horn and continues in a series of dramatically rhythmic phrases, leading to a furious ending. The ballet closes with the entire ensemble in the Final Dance, a jota with a lively cross-rhythm throughout. The music is alternately light-hearted and dramatic, but in the end brings this set to a joyful conclusion.

The 2024/25 Symphonic Series season is presented by United Grain Corporation.

Come once again to our mostly annual celebration of ALL THINGS BACH – any Bach – J.S., C.P.E., arrangements of Bach, Bach with creative twists, even jazzed-up Bach! This year we are planning some special tributes to musical genius Peter Schickele, who ‘discovered’ the works of P.D.Q. Bach and sadly passed away earlier this year.

Classical Revolution PDX is thrilled to be back at Artichoke Music. We’re putting together a fun program featuring soloists and small ensembles who wish to perform their favorite Bach-related pieces.

This is a community-driven, volunteer concert meant to be fun and relaxed. We want everyone to have a great time whether you come to play, sing, or just to listen!

Beer, wine, and light snacks will be available for purchase.

All ages are welcome!

Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP), the country’s longest running youth orchestra will celebrate its long-standing holiday tradition with the 63rd annual Concert-at-Christmas: Out of This World on Thursday, December 26, 2024, at 7:30 PM at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. This much-loved annual concert showcases all PYP’s ensembles: an Alumni Orchestra, Portland Youth String Ensemble (PYSE), Portland Youth Wind Ensemble (PYWE), Portland Youth Conservatory Orchestra (PYCO), and the flagship Portland Youth Philharmonic. Under the direction of distinguished conductors David Hattner, Inés Voglar Belgique, Giancarlo Castro D’Addona, and Lawrence Johnson, audiences will be treated to an evening of classical masterworks, beloved film scores, and festive favorites.

This year’s concert theme, Out of This World, reflects the sense of wonder and discovery conveyed by the music selections. From cinematic classics to orchestral staples, audiences of all ages will be inspired by the talent and dedication of Portland’s finest young musicians. “We will feature compositions that are old, ones that are new as well as old ones that are new to us and to Portland,” said Musical Director David Hattner.

Audiences will be transported by the sweeping majesty of John Williams’ Flying Theme from E.T. (The Extra Terrestrial) and the adventurous spirit of his Music from Jurassic Park. Michael Giacchino’s vibrant Main Theme from The Incredibles will bring energy and excitement to the stage, reminding us of the heroics and heart of Pixar’s iconic family of superheroes. These cinematic treasures, performed by Portland’s most talented young musicians, promise to evoke nostalgia and wonder, providing a perfect blend of epic storytelling and musical excellence.

This holiday season, celebrate Portland’s most dedicated young musicians as they perform these outstanding pieces. This year’s repertoire offers an exciting mix of classic orchestral works and thrilling pieces from beloved films, making Concert at Christmas: Out of This World a must-see event for music lovers of all ages. Be a part of PYP’s rich history and be uplifted during this post-Christmas tradition, which started in 1961.
