The Rose City Reunion Concert is taking place Thursday, May 26, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

The open-air concert invites everyone to come out and enjoy a unique performance by the Oregon Symphony. The event premieres an original song “From One Rose,” written by Rose Festival Board Member Ron Carr and arranged by Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated composer Bruce Broughton.

This event is free to attend and open to all ages. Blanket and low profile lawn chairs welcome. Bring your own picnic or buy snacks at the concession stands. 

In case of bad weather, the performance will be held in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on the same date and time.
