The third month of this year means the third year of March Music Moderne, upon us again with 32 events all across the PDX global village multiverse we live in. 10 events are held in SE, 12 are free and ALL sound intriguing. It’s a month-long nightly musical extravaganza of symphonies, bands, seriousness, sensuousness, classical, sounds of nature, spoken word and musical exploration.

Back for a third year, the monthlong celebration gathers 32 events together in a loose confederation of contemporary music ranging from solos, duos and string quartets to full symphonies.
