Last Minute Plans — March 14 & 15

This weekend offers a striking mix of musical perspectives, from immersive multidisciplinary works to timeless classics reimagined. In Portland, SAMĀ explores the ecstatic spirituality of sound and movement, while Seattle delves into the intimate world of 19th-century salons. The Pavel Haas Quartet brings their masterful interpretations to San Francisco, and Boston offers a contemporary reflection on The Four Seasons. The weekend continues with Puccini’s passionate La Bohème in Chicago, the dramatic intensity of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 in Las Vegas, and an evocative orchestral program in Santa Fe featuring The Lark Ascending. Whether you’re drawn to historical depth, sonic experimentation, or orchestral grandeur, there’s something to experience.
