Join UO Libraries for a spine-tingling Halloween evening as we connect live to the Berlin Philharmonic's Digital Concert Hall for an unforgettable shared listening experience. Broadcasting directly from Berlin with concert-quality sound and video, this special watch party features Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko leading three haunting 20th-century dance works perfect for the season. We'll experience Béla Bartók's expressionistic The Miraculous Mandarin, with its razor-sharp orchestration depicting the brutal realities of urban life, Igor Stravinsky's beloved Petrushka - the bittersweet puppet love story set against a chaotic fairground - and Leoš Janáček's folk-inspired Lachian Dances, celebrating the melancholy beauty of Czech musical traditions.

This inclusive event welcomes students, faculty, and community members to experience world-class orchestral music in a relaxed, communal setting where live classical performance meets the accessibility of our library space. No formal concert attire or prior classical music knowledge required - just bring your curiosity and prepare to be transported by some of the most evocative orchestral music ever written. The Digital Concert Hall's professional multi-camera production and pristine audio quality will make you feel like you have the best seats in Berlin's legendary concert hall, while our comfortable Knight Library setting encourages the kind of shared discovery that makes live music so powerful. Perfect for classical newcomers and seasoned listeners alike seeking an alternative Halloween experience through transformative music.
