Eugene Symphony: Stravinsky’s Firebird and Dvořák’s New World Symphony (Symphony No. 9)

Led by Music Director Alex Prior, the Eugene Symphony opens the season with Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, a dazzling showpiece of glittering orchestration and blazing finale. Joining it is Anna Clyne’s Color Field, inspired by the luminous canvases of Mark Rothko and unfolding in radiant waves of sound and color. The program culminates in Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, From the New World, whose sweeping melodies and expansive spirit have made it a cornerstone of the repertoire for generations.
