#Beethoven HSO Fall Concert Series 

About

The theme of the upcoming Fall Concert series is #Beethoven, which will take place Saturday, October 5 in Little Falls at Charles D. Martin Auditorium in Little Falls High School at 7:30 PM, and Sunday, October 6 in Brainerd at Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts at Brainerd High School at 2:30 PM. HSO will perform the Minnesota premiere of Dominic Dousa’s New Era Overture. This concert includes our annual side-by-side collaborations with students from the St. Francis Orchestras in Little Falls and the Brainerd High Sinfonia in Brainerd. The featured artist is Dr. Stephen Carlson, professor of piano at Bemidji State University, in a performance of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto. The orchestra will also perform "Nimrod" from Elgar's Enigma Variations in memory of Mary Anne Bennett. Mary Anne passed away on August 16, 2024 and we would like to honor her memory and thank her for 21 years of service to HSO.

These concerts are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Five Wings Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. In Little Falls, the Laura Jane Musser Fund provides additional support.

HSO concerts are free and welcome an audience of all ages. Donations are graciously accepted by mail, at the door, and online at www.heartlandsymphony.com

Conductor Chats are held 45 minutes prior to each performance.
