Inner Landscapes: Depths of Expression

ONN invites you on a musical journey that explores nature, emotion, and timeless beauty. The program begins with the Western U.S. premiere of Rainn, a vivid new composition by Karena Ingram, presented in collaboration with the League of American Orchestras and the Toulmin Orchestral Commissions Program. Portland pianist Maria Garcia brings dramatic elegance to Lūcija Garūta’s rarely heard Piano Concerto in F-sharp Minor—a powerful, expressive work from the 20th century. The program concludes with the vibrant optimism of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, a joyful ode to nature and folk traditions. From contemporary voices to lush Romantic soundscapes, this program offers both emotional depth and exhilarating beauty.
