About the Show

A one-hour showcase of music, at the heart of the Oregon Symphony Gala experience. 

All Gala ticket holders will receive premiere seating for the Celebration Concert included as part of their Gala ticket, with elevated seating placement for Gala Sponsors and their guests. 

Thanks to underwriting support from our Gala Sponsors, we are proud to open the rest of the hall for free, inviting our community partners, school partners, and the entire city to join the celebration and enjoy a free concert.
