About Classical Up Close
Classical Up Close is a chamber music festival created and produced by members of the Oregon Symphony and friends. Our mission is to bring high quality, live classical music to as many people as possible. To that end, we travel to neighborhoods all around the Portland metro area, holding concerts outside of the usual downtown concert hall, and every performance is free.
