Oregon Symphony

Nature's Forces Graphic

With its depictions of babbling brooks, bird calls, and an electrifying thunderstorm, Beethoven's “Pastoral” Symphony evokes the beauty of the Austrian countryside with cinematic clarity. And in Talent & Phoenix, Creative Chair Gabriel Kahane reflects on the devastating 2020 Almeda Fire in Southern Oregon to ask: "How is memory remade, and community rebuilt, when the buildings that housed our past are reduced to ash?"
