PORTLAND, Ore. – Pianist Makato Ozone made a splashy debut with the Oregon Symphony on May17 with a jazz-infused and invigorating performance of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Ozone’s fans, including a large contingent of young Japanese men, flooded the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and almost filled it for the first time in quite a while (the Schnitz, as it is locally known, accommodates 2,700 people).
