Wartburg Community Symphony to open season Oct. 15
October 11, 2016
Jennifer Larson
The symphony, under the direction of Jacob Tews, will present a geographically-themed program, titled “A Sense of Place,” beginning at 8 p.m. in Neumann Auditorium. Larson, an associate professor of music at Wartburg who has appeared with the Milwaukee, Utah, Illinois and Detroit symphony orchestras, will join the symphony for Samuel Barber’s “Knoxville: Summer of 1915.”
The concert also will include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s sunny “Paris” symphony, Camille Saint-Saëns’s “Suite algérienne” and will conclude with Alberto Ginastera’s raucous dances from “Estancia.”
Tickets are available at the door; the cost is $16.50 for adults and $6.50 for students. Children 5 and under are free. Wartburg College students are admitted free with their student IDs. For ticket information, call 319-352-8691 or 800-772-2085, ext. 8691, or email wcs@wartburg.edu.

Memberships will be available in the lobby. Members are issued priority-reserved seats and receive a tax-deductible gift credit.
