Short on time, but need a classical music fix? The Oregon Symphony has the perfect answer for the end of your work week: a brand-new musical experience called “Symphony in 60.” The concert is shorter, and there’s no intermission, but there’s no shortage of dazzling music. Our first entry is Rachmaninoff’s ultra-Romantic Symphony No. 2 which enfolds you with sweeping melodies, lush orchestrations and inspired lyrical passages. The composer himself said: “Music is born only of the heart and it appeals to the heart. It is love.” You’ll need no further proof than this gorgeous work.
