Unexpected One of the most common
expressions I hear from newcomers to the
.
South Dakota Symphony Orchestra is, “That’s
not at all what I expected!” Sometimes people
are taken by surprise by the music they hear.
Their preconceptions about classical music are
swept away by the diversity of programming,
so many countries and eras given a voice
during each concert. Other times it’s the quality
of the orchestra itself: “I had no idea we had
such a treasure in Sioux Falls!” And sometimes
people are overwhelmed with the whole concert
experience, including the magnificence of the
Mary W. Sommervold Hall, its beauty and
superb acoustics. Indeed, the award-winning
South Dakota Symphony Orchestra is a model
ensemble for any region of the country.
This season offers so many opportunities
to find new music to love, as well as to cherish
the more familiar. Whether you’re hearing
a Chopin concerto or Beethoven symphony
for the first time, or taking a journey through
the mind’s ear to China or Persia, you will be
delighted by the unexpected. It’s the chance to
encounter music that will move you, inspire
you, pique your curiosity, or even make you
laugh. It is our sincere desire that your world
be expanded, that you come away from your
South Dakota Symphony Orchestra experience
with more music to love each and every time
we share a concert together.
