“…a voice roundly sonorous, of warm beauty, commanding in voice and presence, dominating the stage with every appearance – a major operatic find.”
-Opera News
“…a strikingly gifted tenor, with a deeply moving, resonant and unblemished voice.
– San Francisco Music Journal
What’s Next at RVS: Masterworks 6: Celestial Pathways
Our Season Finale opens with one of Martin’s favorites: a Romantic tone poem about a mountain range in his native Slovakia. The sonic spectacle of The Planets turns into an immersive experience of cosmic proportions with added choreographed visuals of the solar system by Seattle-based visual artist Adrian Wyard.
The Tatras Mountains have inspired many an artist, not just in music, but poetry, mythology, and literature, such as this by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer:
There is such peace there… Onto the slopes
Light pours through the translucent fog
Onto the somnolescent greenery of the mountains.
Burbling far away through the stones,
A stream sparkles in the sun and becomes
A silver-rainbow line.

Bringing a live orchestra experience
to where YOU are since 1967.
The Rogue Valley Symphony has had the pleasure of performing in Southern Oregon since 1967, when we had one venue in the Medford Mid-High School auditorium and 55 players. Now with more than 70 players and three venues in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass, the Rogue Valley Symphony is celebrating its 55th season with hope, excitement, and unforgettable music.
Feel free learn more on our About and FAQ pages, explore our Current Season, or go straight to Buying Tickets at your leisure.
Check our what our patrons are saying about Masterworks 5: Hidden Gems:
“The energy and excitement coming off the stage was epic. How any of the musicians and the conductor could sleep that night is beyond understanding. Thank you all for an experience of a life time.”

“Keep up the excellent job! We are so fortunate to have such outstanding performances in this area. Thank you for these fabulous performances. Martin, your expertise, enthusiasm and audience comments educate us and give us a wonderful in depth music experience over and over.”

“I’ve listened to that Steinway for over 20 years and I’ve never seen it rise up and dance the way it did for Michelle Cann!! And I’ll never hear Rachmaninoff’s Prelude the same again!”
-Anonymous
“This was an awe-inspiring concert. One half of one piece played by Michelle Cann would have been enough and so to have two full pieces PLUS an encore was such a huge treat. The symphony continues to excel and I am so thankful for all who help make it happen. Bravo! Brava!”
-Anonymous
Rogue Valley Symphony is hyped for the rest of our season – full of musical blockbusters and perhaps some pieces you’ve never heard, it’s a season for both seasoned symphony-goers and brand new listeners!
