Join us at the St. Andrew Baptist Church for a profound musical journey that bridges the heroic human spirit and the ethereal beauty of the natural world. This evocative program features Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” a revolutionary masterwork that forever changed the landscape of classical music with its themes of struggle, triumph, and grandeur. Complementing this monumental piece is Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Cantus Arcticus, a uniquely haunting “Concerto for Birds and Orchestra” that incorporates recorded songs of birds from the Arctic Circle, creating a lush, atmospheric dialogue between symphony and wilderness. Within the superb acoustics of our new venue, this concert promises an immersive experience that celebrates both the strength of the individual and the vast, serene mystery of the Great North. Come early and enjoy refreshments in the foyer.

The Podium Search Continues! As our quest for a new Music Director and Conductor continues, we invite you to witness Mystery Finalist Number 3 who will lead the symphony in this live performance. This premier candidate will take the baton to navigate the heroic depths of Beethoven and the ethereal landscapes of Rautavaara, marking a decisive moment in the future of our orchestra. Stay tuned as we prepare to reveal who will be the talent behind the baton for this monumental evening!
