We had the privilege of celebrating the joy of the season with Holiday Pops. So in awe with the Oregon Symphony, conducted by Sean O’Loughlin.
Special performances by incredibly talented Aubrey Logan, Trombone and Vocals, and Sarah Reich, Tap Dancer, who is Suzi's daughter's instructor.The sweet harmonies of the Oregon Chorale were the pièce de résistance! If you have the chance to enjoy the Holiday Pops in your city don't hesitate to go!!
Holiday Pops is a popular, festive orchestral concert series held by many symphony orchestras (like the Boston Pops, Cincinnati, Jacksonville) featuring beloved Christmas carols, holiday classics, Broadway tunes, and often guest performers, choirs, dancers, and even Santa, creating a family-friendly tradition to celebrate the season with live music and holiday magic
The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, known as "The Schnitz," is a historic downtown Portland venue, originally built in 1928 as the Portland Publix Theatre, that hosts a wide variety of performances, including classical, pop, rock, and jazz concerts, dance, and theater. It is home to the Oregon Symphony and features stunning Art Deco and Renaissance Revival architecture, including a large pipe organ and a painted ceiling mural. The hall is centrally located and accessible by public transit, offering a classic theater experience with modern amenities.
Support the arts! If you haven't been to this iconic Portland concert hall, you are missing out. It's not only beautiful, but it's also the home of the world-class Oregon Symphony. If classical music isn't your thing, they have tons of other great programming - they back mainstream artists, so holiday shows, and my personal favorite, play the score for awesome movies live while you watch. Don't miss out before it's gone!
