OUR MISSION
Our mission is to present free symphony concerts in Portland area parks for the benefit of the general public, especially children.

Our musicians are members of American Federation of Musicians – and thanks to Union Local 99, these musicians have rights! Each Portland Festival Symphony performance supports a living wage, access to healthcare and pension contributions for our wonderful, professional musicians. Supporting the Portland Festival Symphony means supporting musicianship as a livelihood.
