Classical Uprising, directed by Dr. Emily Isaacson, is founded on a belief that classical music must rise up, challenge current norms, and re-envision where, how, and for whom we are making music. With 50 concerts and events year-round, Classical Uprising serves over 6,000 musicians and music lovers, amateurs and GRAMMY-winners, through our programs:

• Oratorio Chorale: symphonic chorus and professional orchestra
• Portland Bach Experience: immersive 10-day summer music festival
• Horizon Voices: four ensembles for grades K-12 developing the next generation of creative citizens
