Fall Concert Series
Our 2024-2025 season kicks off with an orchestra showcase concert. Two major works will highlight the broad palate of instruments, techniques and sounds that are possible with the modern symphony. The Romeo and Juliet Suite No. 2, drawn from Sergei Prokofiev’s landmark ballet, is a seven-movement tour of brilliant colors and clever orchestration techniques capturing several moods and characters of the tragic tale. Johannes Brahms’ legendary and storied Symphony No. 1 will conclude the festivities.
Saturday, November 2 | 2pm
Saturday, November 2 | 7:30pm
Sunday, November 3 | 2pm
All concerts will take place at the Caldera High School Auditorium.
This season holds unexpected changes as we say goodbye to the Bend Senior High School auditorium, our beloved home for decades, after its sudden demolition in July. Though this marks the end of an era, our passion for sharing music with you remains stronger than ever.
With the loss of our traditional venue, we now have a smaller performance space, which means seating is limited for each concert. Tickets will be online this year, and members must reserve tickets for their preferred concert via Eventbrite.
