Helmuth Rilling leads the OBF's opening concerts in Portland and Eugene.

Helmuth Rilling, OBF artistic director and one of the work’s most astute interpreters, leads the OBF Chorus, Orchestra, and soloists in two performances of this masterpiece, on Friday, June 27 at the Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland (our first concert in Portland since 1981), and the following evening, June 28, in Silva Hall in Eugene’s Hult Center for the Performing Arts.

If you are new to the OBF and want to pick one event
that embodies the essence, power, and artistry of the Festival, you
can’t go wrong with the B Minor Mass – the work that Helmuth Rilling views as Bach’s “heritage to mankind.”
