As spring arrives in Central Oregon, the Central Oregon Symphony invites the community to its Spring Concert Series—an orchestral celebration of color, renewal, and emotion. These performances also mark a meaningful milestone: the final concerts of Maestro Michael Gesme, concluding his distinguished tenure with the Symphony.

The program features Verdi’s La Forza del Destino Overture, Leshnoff’s Elegy, Grieg’s Norwegian Dances, Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours,” and Respighi’s Pines of Rome—a sweeping journey from drama to lyrical beauty and grandeur.

Performances take place at Mountain View High School (Bend):
May 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM
May 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM (livestream available)
