We are delighted to announce that Music Director David Danzmayr has extended his contract with Oregon Symphony through the 2028/29 season.

“We are thrilled to continue our artistic journey with David,” said Paul Snyder, Interim President & CEO. ​“His leadership has inspired extraordinary music-making on stage, and his programming has brought both beloved classics and bold new works to our audiences. David’s vision reflects the cultural vitality of Portland, and we are excited to share this next chapter with our community.”

Since joining the Oregon Symphony, Danzmayr has strengthened and significantly advanced the orchestra’s sound with an approach rooted in empathy, balance, and a deep commitment to audience experience.

Highlights of the 25/26 season in Oregon include new commissions by David Schiff and Caleb Pakela and performances with soloists including Joshua Bell, Gil Shaham, Colin Currie, Christine Goerke and Storm Large.

Congratulations David!
