— First United Methodist Church—

Portland Columbia Symphony celebrates Slavic music through folk inspired classics
that transport the audience through the distinctive “gypsy scales” with the wildly
passionate and exotic character of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Then take in the
rich, harmonic coloring of Romanian Folk Dances and the lyrical Czech Suite whose
rustic Polka gives way to an exhilarating, rousing Finale. The evening concludes with
a “musical sneeze” in the Hungarian tradition of taking a ridiculous tale with a grain
of salt — so enjoy the tale of Háry János!

Friday, May 3, 2019 — 7:30pm First United Methodist Church, Portland; repeats
Sunday, May 5, 2019 — 3:00pm Reynolds H.S. Performing Arts Center, Troutdale
