Since its inception in 1906, our orchestra has been a central component of the performing arts program in the Willamette Valley and a major contributor to the vibrant cultural life in our region. Concerts feature musical works both familiar and challenging, and frequently highlight soloists of local or international renown.

Choral music is often included, under the direction of Dr. Steven Zielke, director of choral studies at OSU. Special programs for children and families compliment the season's program of classical orchestral music.

Our 2011-2012 season will hold many exciting and memorable musical experiences. We invite you to share it with us as a regular or occasional concert attendee.

ABOUT HALIE LOREN...

"With a vocal sound and approach that will remind you of some of the greatest jazz-pop singers of all time, Halie Loren is one of those unique artists who can make any song sound like she wrote it. And of course, she just may have!"
— Rob Birdwell, Birdwell Music

"In describing the vocal talents of Eugene-based singer/songwriter Halie Loren, the adjectives just start piling up. Heartfelt is one. Confident yet vulnerable, strong but inviting. Authentic is another adjective that rushes to mind—emotionally authentic, which, really, is the key to great jazz and great art in general." Read more
