Beethoven Symphony No. 6

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. Plus, your Oregon Symphony rounds out the program with an unforgettable performance of Vaughan-Williams’ The Lark Ascending featuring violinist Julian Rhee and Tan Dun’s Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds—both sparkling depictions of heart-wrenchingly beautiful birdsongs.
