Wheatland Insurance presents the Oregon East Symphony's 41st Season Opening Concert, at 2:30pm, Sunday, November 8, 2026 at The Vert Auditorium (480 SW Dorion Ave, Pendleton, OR).

Join us as we open our 41st Season with a program of lush color, sensuous harmony, and festive rhythm.

The concert opens with Jimmy López's Fiesta, a vibrant, rhythmically charged showpiece from the Peruvian-born composer that sets an energetic tone for the season ahead.

At the heart of the program is Franz Schreker's Chamber Symphony, a shimmering, sensuous score that blends late-Romantic warmth with the glowing, iridescent colors of the early twentieth century.

The afternoon concludes with Ottorino Respighi's Botticelli Triptych, a luminous musical portrait inspired by three paintings of the Italian Renaissance master, in which orchestral color brings the canvases to life.

Begin the season with an afternoon of beauty, color, and community.

Reserved balcony and floor seating can be purchased here.
