all good things…

…must come to an end, and so, today is the last day of work for us at the Oregon Symphony until the 2008-2009 season begins in late August.  Fittingly, tonight’s concert is a thank you to all of our hard working donors and volunteers who have helped to keep the OSO in business for yet another season (no small feat for any orchestra) and have made our performances worthwhile by being enthusiastic audiences and supporters.  It’s also fitting that the major work of the program, Bruckner’s mighty Fourth Symphony, is being performed side-by-side with members of the Portland Youth Philharmonic.  Their youth, energy, and virtuosity is fun to be on stage with, and it’s nice to share the end of the season with them.
