Oregon Mahler Festival – Orchestra Concert

The Oregon Mahler Festival is back. This incredible 90-member orchestra has a different venue this year – Rex Putnam high School. Join us for a powerful concert under the baton of our Music Director Mark Perlman.
This year’s festival brings musicians together to celebrate the expansive and emotional Symphony No. 1 of Gustav Mahler, along with works by Wagner and contemporary composer Quinn Mason.
Program:
• Wagner – Overture to The Flying Dutchman
• Mahler – “Blumine” movement from the early version of Symphony No. 1
(conducted by Assistant Conductor Quinn Mason)
• Quinn Mason – She Dreams of Flying (2023) – West Coast Premiere
• Mahler – Symphony No. 1 “Titan”
Mahler’s music is an unforgettable experience — moving from moments of quiet beauty to sarcasm and parody to some of the most thrilling and powerful sounds an orchestra can create.
