Portland Symphony Orchestra

fantastic beasts
and where to hear them

Side-by-Side with the Portland Youth Orchestra

Mythical creatures have existed for as long as stories have been told. From fearsome dragons and ethereal elves to cheerful hobbits and fiery beings, these otherworldly beings capture the imagination and inspire tales of heroism.
Storytellers were not the only ones influenced by these fantastic beings; composers also found inspiration from legends. The PSO is joined by the Portland Youth Symphony Orchestra for a side-by-side performance of music inspired by fantastic creatures, real and imagined, including selections from the Firebird Suite, How to Train Your Dragon, Lord of the Rings, and Reindeer Variations.

Eckart Preu, Music Director
