2020 OMF Festival Season Brochure

WELCOME TO OMF 2020
Opening with a new signature piece -- Copland’s
Fanfare for the Common Man -- and ending with the
ecstatic sounds of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, the
2020 season pulsates with vivid colors, extraordinary
artists, dramatic performances and a line up of nearly
fifty major works. The ten-month long celebration,
which extends from March to December of 2020, is
divided into three sections: Spring, Summer and Fall
editions. Each edition contributes in its own way to the
season’s architecture. As a whole, It constitutes the first
part of a two-season fête that marks the festival’s 10-
year anniversary. Appropriately, some 40 soloists and
conductors, three orchestras, four chamber ensembles,
and close to 200 ensemble musicians will perform
16 concerts, marking the apex of the first ten years of
the “most significant musical event to hit the Oregon
concert stage in recent decades.” This is Oregon Music
Festival. You will not want to
miss the occasion.
