Since its cult-classic debut in 1985, Clue has captivated audiences with its razor-sharp wit, eccentric characters, and endlessly quotable lines. Now, for the first time, the iconic murder-mystery comedy comes to life in Clue: Live in Concert, featuring the Oregon Symphony performing John Morris’ mischievous and suspenseful score in perfect sync with the film.

In this exciting program, Composer-in-Residence Andy Akiho presents a work that celebrates percussion and rhythm and displays his spellbinding artistry—and that of the Oregon Symphony’s stellar percussion section in the solo spotlight. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony also thrills with the life-affirming sounds of timpani, bass drum, and cymbals and engages you with this passionate work, about which he confessed, “There is not a single bar in this Symphony which I have not truly felt, and which is not an echo of my most intimate spiritual life…”

Percussion & Rhythm with Andy Akiho

Respighi, beloved magician of orchestral colors, pays tribute to the “Eternal City” in his richly imagined Pines of Rome, transporting you to famous pine stands around Rome…to a splendid estate, mournfully to a catacomb, to the moonlit Janiculum hill with the haunting song of a nightingale, and to the Appian Way, with blazing trumpets and the thunder of marching armies. Plus, the amazing Colin Currie, former artist-in-residence and audience favorite, raises the roof in the Concerto composed for him.
