Joshua Bell
Violin superstar Joshua Bell joins the Oregon Symphony for the grandest of season openings! One of the most celebrated, most award-crowned artists of our day, he shines in Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto, lifting you into the stratosphere of the instrument’s register. Stravinsky’s sumptuous Suite from The Firebird is filled with the stuff of fairytales: a prince, captive princesses, the Firebird’s magic feather, and an evil ogre. Vibrant colors and rich harmonies glitter and pulse, ending with the gossamer Lullaby and a shimmering climax.
