The Oregon Mozart Players Chamber Orchestra
Experience the Northwest's premier Chamber Orchestra offering music from the Baroque to to the present, performed with precision and passion.
Oregon Mozart Players was founded in 1983 by a local group of professional musicians. The new ensemble had dual purposes: playing the large repertoire of music for chamber orchestra; sharing this music with the Eugene-Springfield community. As a result, the orchestra continues to present works written for small orchestras and intimate venues, allowing each instrument to be clearly heard.
The musicians play key roles in the orchestra's development, serving on its Board of Directors and nurturing an atmosphere that stimulates musical creativity. The 35 musicians of OMP—strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion—capture both the passion and precision of a string quartet and the dynamism of a full symphony orchestra.
We are pleased to welcome back this extraordinary ensemble.
This performance is only possible because of our generous sponsors - US Bank, Joan and Edward Long and The Friends of the Florence Events Center.
