The Oregon Symphony's upcoming 2025-2026 season will mark a significant change by eliminating Monday night concerts from its classical series. The orchestra will now perform six popular concerts over three nights: Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. The season begins on Sept. 16 with renowned violinist Joshua Bell. President and CEO Isaac Thompson explains the reasoning behind this change, citing post-pandemic shifts in audience behavior towards last-minute purchases and a preference for weekend events, as well as low attendance on Monday nights.
Isaac Thompson mentions that consumer habits have shifted due to the pandemic, indicating a move towards last-minute purchases and a preference for weekend performances.
Thompson notes that Monday nights had low attendance and identified a vibrant weekend schedule as more appealing, prompting the schedule change.
