Description

Oregon Music Festival (OMF) is a professional, international festival of symphonic music, dedicated to performance, promotion and development of classical music. As a summer music festival the event seeks to fill a gap in the city's classical music offerings, in particular in the area of symphonic music. OMF is led by the Artistic Collegium (a group of distinguished musicians), managed by a professional staff and governed by local citizens. We are committed to high musical standards, the latest in music scholarship and music education. The festival seeks to engage both local and international artists and present a spectrum of complementary works with a core emphasis on one or more composers. OMF’s education efforts are channeled through Orpheus Academy Northwest which provides mentoring to young local musicians by festival’s resident artists. OMF 206 is scheduled for June 18-June 30; it is dedicated to the works of two great composers: Schumann and Stravinsky.
