One of Beethoven’s most popular symphonies, the opening gambits from the strings, horns, and trumpets are unmistakable, but it’s the second movement (Allegretto) that is truly spectacular. “I love this piece of music…this music means something special…its theme of struggle and progress, of adversity and ultimate triumph,” (Robert Siegel, NPR). Led by OBF artistic director candidate Eric Jacobsen, the concert also features works from Bologne and Ravel.

This event is sponsored by Chambers Construction and KWAX Classical Oregon.

In accordance with state mandates, as of 6/14/22, OBF performance spaces do not require face masks, proof of vaccination, or negative COVID test for entry. However, given the rise in Lane County COVID cases, the University of Oregon recommends individuals wear masks indoors when around other people. These policies are subject to change as the Festival progresses.
