Oregon Symphony Presents ‘The Blue Hour’ in Concert

By Afton Wooten

“The Blue Hour” by collaborators Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw, and Sarah Kirkland Snider will be presented in concert with the Oregon Symphony.

The song cycle is set to excerpts from Carolyn Forché’s epic poem “On Earth” which explores one woman’s journey through the space between life and death. The multi-media production will share the “beauty, pain, and fragility of human life from a collective female perspective.”

Shara Nova serves as soloist with the Oregon Symphony with Deanna Tham conducting.

The performance is to take place on April 8, 2023 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Patricia Reser Center for The Arts.
