The Difference: Some reasons to enjoy the Oregon Mozart PlayersHave it both ways. The 35 musicians of OMP—strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion—capture both the passion and precision of a string quartet and the dynamism of a full symphony orchestra. Small is beautiful. Experience the splendid repertoire of the chamber orchestra, from the Baroque to the present, played by an ensemble of a size intended by the composers. You don't need a huge dining room or a king's ransom to hear the wide variety of music composed for small forces. Intimate venues. Get closer to the musicians. Enhance your enjoyment of the performance by hearing the interplay between instruments and other subtle details of the music. You can separate the instrumental lines and identify who's playing them. We’re family. Not just a traveling show or a large anonymous group. Get to know Kelly Kuo and the players personally at pre-concert talks and post-concert receptions. These are good times as well to meet other people from our area who also support the Oregon Mozart Players. Soloists from near and far. Enjoy the artistry of soloists from the orchestra, from the community and from the world stage. Eugene is blessed with some extraordinarily fine musicians, whose talents the Oregon Mozart Players have a tradition of showcasing. In addition, the high quality of the orchestra and Kelly Kuo's unique contacts in the musical scene let us attract some of the country's top musicians. |
