Mother Russia
2025-06-12 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-13 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-14 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-15 14:00 - 16:30, 2025-06-19 19:30 - 22:00 | Artists Repertory Theatre, 1515 SW Morrison Street, Portland, OR, 97205, United States
Evgeny and Dmitri are just two average guys who dream of cushy government jobs—but when the fall of the Soviet Union puts hiring on hold, they find work surveilling a former pop star instead. As they bumble their way through the assignment, both spying and life under capitalism prove harder than they thought. This prescient and thought-provoking world-premiere comedy by Lauren Yee (The Great Leap, Cambodian Rock Band) reveals what happens when old systems and strongmen fall away, and we let the free market decide—but freedom doesn’t taste as good as we thought it would.
Profile Theatre is producing Mother Russia in association with Desert Island Studios, founded and run by Ashley Song and Joe Bowden, who will be creating pre-recorded and live-stream video featured within the production.

2025-06-14 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-15 14:00 - 16:30, 2025-06-16 19:30 - 22:00 | Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway Ave, Portland, OR, 97205, United States
“In it the whole of nature finds a voice,” Mahler wrote of his Third Symphony. A work of immense scope and profound emotion in which the composer realizes his goal to “embrace everything” in his music, Mahler’s Third is an expansive hymn to the primal life force that animates every flower in the meadow, animal in the forest, and the divine love that forever unites nature and humankind.

MYS is proud to welcome barrier-breaking five-time Grammy winner and Portland native esperanza spalding for its season finale.
MYS is commissioning a piece by esperanza spalding for bass, voice, and symphony, exploring the connection between the land and spirit. esperanza will perform the new work with MYS Symphony Orchestra and jazz students, along with Ebony and Ivy by esperanza spalding, and Midnight in Carlotta’s Hair by the great Wayne Shorter.
In honor of another barrier breaker, MYS will perform Florence Price’s Symphony No. 4, one of her most substantial symphonies. Composed in 1945, this work was never performed during Price’s life and was presumed lost until 2009, when it was rediscovered in her former summer home in Illinois. Price’s Symphony No. 4 received its world premiere by the Fort Smith Symphony on May 12, 2018.
MYS is no stranger to Price’s work. In 2019, Symphony Orchestra performed the U.S. West Coast premiere of Price’s Symphony No. 1, and took this piece abroad in Italy and Austria as part of its international tour that same summer.
