ENDLETON — Oregon East
Symphony wraps up its
season with “Fractal Miniatures”
on Saturday, June 11, at the Vert
Auditorium, 480 SW Dorion Ave.
The concert starts at 7:30 p.m.
General admission is free,
thanks to a grant from the Round-
house Foundation, said J.D.
Kindle, OES executive director.
For this fi nale concert, OES
conductor and artistic director
Dr. Beau Benson will lead the
symphony in performing “Frac-
tal Miniatures” by American
composer Roger Zare, Danzón
No. 2 by Arturo Márquez and
Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Symphony
No. 6.
Kindle explained that “Fractal
Miniatures” is inspired by Zare’s
fascination with fractal images,
which are “infi nitely complex
patterns created by repeating a
simple process over and over in
an ongoing feedback loop.”
“In the piece of music, Zare
has strung eight short move-
ments together that each refl ect
his impressions of various
fractals, taking them as pieces
of art,” he said.
In addition to the music, the
audience will see a slideshow
of photographs by Joe Cantrell,
a Portland photographer who
documents fractal patterns
in nature.
Also in the program is
Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, which
Kindle said is “one of the most
popular and most frequently
performed orchestral Mexican
contemporary classical music
compositions. It is based on the
danzón, a slow, formal partner
dance from Veracruz, Mexico.”
Tchaikovsky’s Symphony
No. 6, also known as his “Pathé-
tique Symphony,” was the com-
poser’s fi nal symphonic work
and premiered Oct. 28, 1893 —
nine days prior to his death.
“Symphony No. 6 has been
interpreted as a suicide note,
especially due to the strong
emotions conveyed therein and
its quotations of the Russian
Orthodox requiem,” Kindle said.
