This hall is second-rate for symphony performances. It encloses such a large volume that sound does not reverberate at all. It is like hearing an outdoor concert. The sound goes up into that big void and doesn't come back. It has one huge balcony, so half the orchestra seats are under it, cut off from what sound does manage to... More

The PCPA is so beautiful! So grand! We didn't actually see the Concert Hall, but another venue inside the Center called Newmark Theater. We saw the Oregon Ballet Theater performance here, and it was amazing.

Looks like something out of Phantom of the Opera. Gorgeous interior, and quality lights. Modern technology, old-fashioned design. Takes your breath away!

The building is old but has the vintage charm; great acoustic. Had the opportunity to watch the great Dave Brubeck played live some years ago. May he rest in peace!

The Schnitz is an old yet restored concert venue in downtown Portland. Parking has always been easy enough to come by. You feel right at home wearing your Sunday best, or dressing more casual, after all, this is Portland! The architecture is lovely to look at and the stage has good sight lines from nearly every seat. This is a... More
