Featuring Abigail Nims, Mezzo-Soprano | This exciting program, inspired by vocal music, features a world premiere for large orchestra by the Italian composer Massimiliano Messieri. He will join Maestro Moore for a pre-concert talk at 6 PM. The concert also includes mezzo-soprano Abigail Nims performing Amy Beach’s Wand’ring Clouds, which was the first composition by a woman to be performed by the Symphony Society of New York in 1892. Additionally, Vaughan Williams' stunning and spiritual blend of ancient and modern elements is showcased in Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, which features two string orchestras. Finally, Respighi’s Pines of Rome promises to be a sonic spectacle not to be missed!

This one-to-a-part cantata series features the Festival soloists as the vocal consort. The Trauerode, BWV 198, is a masterpiece that features funeral music that provided the backbone for the St. Mark Passion. The Lamentations of Jeremiah by Zelenka are beautifully conceived, gorgeous melodies imbued with mysticism.

Anton Bruckner's Locus Iste (This place) is a sacred motet, composed in 1869 during his first year in Leipzig. It's written for four unaccompanied mixed voices and is both haunting and transcendent.

The St. John Passion was performed for the first time on Good Friday in 1724 in the Nicolaikirche in Leipzig. To mark its 300th anniversary, the St. John Passion opens the 2024 festival season, lending great meaning to the season’s theme, “Passions,” and creating connections to the week’s concerts and recitals.

The St. John: A Global Passion

Handel's Messiah is an uplifting and joyful musical rite of the holiday season, capped off with the wondrous 'Hallelujah' chorus. Francesco brings his dramatic, acclaimed interpretation - directing the soloists, chorus, and orchestra while performing from the harpsichord.

Green Music Center

Celebrate the holiday season with Ludwig van Beethoven's hymn to humanity, featuring the Eugene Symphony Chorus and a work by First Symphony Composer Gabriella Smith.

There is no experience that compares to hearing a live performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hymn to humanity, starting with the sounds of order emerging from chaos on through to the spine-tingling “Ode to Joy” that will bring you out of your seat in exultation at the end. We also hear First Symphony Project composer Gabriella Smith’s collage of sounds inspired by the natural world, an a capella work sung by the Eugene Symphony Chorus, and another stunning but rarely heard work for chorus and orchestra by Beethoven, Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage.

The Guild Pre-Concert Talk will be held in the Silva Concert Hall from 6:30-7:00. Just a reminder, please sit in your ticketed seat during the pre-concert talk.
