Heartland Symphony Orchestra will hold their Spring Concert Series called “The Essence of Spring” on April 6 in Crosslake, April 7 in Little Falls and April 8 in Brainerd. The program, under the direction of Dr. Alexander Corbett, features “Scheherazade, Op. 35” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, “Pelleas and Melisande, Op. 80” by Gabriel Faure and “Clarion”, an original work by Flannery Cunningham, winner of the 2018 Composers’ Competition.

The Spring Concert series begins on Friday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. with a free outreach concert in Crosslake, Minnesota at the Crosslake Lutheran Church. This concert is sponsored in part by Crosslake Businesses. On Saturday April 7 at 7:30 p.m., Heartland Symphony Orchestra will perform in the Charles D.

Tickets are $12 for Adult, $10 for Senior and Free for Youth K-12.

Conductor Chats will be held 45 minutes prior to each concert. These chats provide an opportunity to meet the conductor and learn a little more about the music before enjoying the concert.

Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s spring concert series is made possible through a grant from Five Wings Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and by a generous grant from the Laura Jane Musser Fund.
