A message from our Music Director
We are looking forward to Portland Festival Symphony’s 2018 concerts in your favorite neighborhood park! We are so happy that so many in the community support the goal of our organization, to present free symphony concerts in the parks for everyone, especially children. We will bring live art to you again — from Vivaldi through Mozart and Beethoven to contemporary music and the best of Americana. Bring your friends and family, take your blanket and chairs, come and picnic with live music performed by devoted professional musicians! As the new Music Director of PFS I am looking forward to continuing and growing the amazing heritage of Maestro Lajos Balogh. Please come up to me after the concert to say hello! Let’s get to know each other and enjoy the great gift of classical music in the best outdoor settings the City of Portland has to offer.
Sincerely yours,
Gregory Vajda
