The University of Portland is well known for its range of musical and theatrical productions, and this fall is no exception. The culturally diverse offerings include Irish poetry and music, classical Polish works, and contemporary and classic American music and theatre, in addition to a vocal tribute to the 20th Century.

The Orchestra premieres Symphonic Overture by graduate student David DeLyser, and shines the spotlight on senior Eric Frutchey, who players Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 . The Choral Union presents music by its conductor, Michael Connolly. Then feel the energy of the Jazz Band, conducted by Dave Parker. The year is 1833, and the British Army is making the first ordnance survey map of Ireland. This touching story is about language, in particular the death of the Irish language, and with it the loss of cultural and national identity.
