Dating back to 1927, the "Schnitz," as referred to by the locals, is a Portland treasure. Part of Portland'5 Centers for the Arts and home to the Oregon Symphony, it was overhauled in the 1980s and now provides a multitude of amenities.

Located off the lobby is a gift shop offering a wide selection of Oregon Symphony merchandise that includes recordings.
