We are following the current Covid guidelines.
Our intimate setting offers only 230 seats inside the beautiful, open air Butler Barn (even more for our Outdoor Spectacular). No matter where you’re seated you’re no more than 40 feet from Portland's world-class musicians. These artists from our hometown deserve to be heard year-round and many of these phenomenal players perform with the Oregon Symphony.
