Welcome to Oregon Mozart Players!

Since our founding in 1982 by a dedicated group of local professional musicians, Oregon Mozart Players has been committed to two core purposes: to perform the rich repertoire of chamber orchestra music and share this music with the Eugene-Springfield community. We take pride in presenting works for small orchestras and intimate venues, where each instrument can shine and be heard.

The mission of Oregon Mozart Players is to enrich the lives of audiences and players alike through excellent performance and vigorous advocacy of chamber orchestra music.

This season is significant for us as we search for a new Artistic Director to guide the future of Oregon Mozart Players. We invite you to join us for this, our 42nd season!

Thank you for being a part of our musical family, and we can’t wait to see you at our performances this year!

Welcome our new Artistic Director!

We are delighted to announce and welcome David Amado as our Artistic Director Designate! His appointment comes after a swift and focused search, marking a pivotal moment for OMP as we look toward the future that will be shaped by a renewed artistic vision and dynamic leadership.

"I am thrilled and honored to join Oregon Mozart Players as their next Artistic Director! I look forward to collaborating with OMP's wonderful musicians and engaging with Eugene's vibrant community. Together, we will craft inspiring musical experiences and build on OMP's rich legacy as we embark on this exciting new chapter."

In anticipation of his official start in June, Amado will conduct “Da Capo,” the final concert of our current season in Beall Hall on May 17, 2025.
