The Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra (SEISO) will perform their first Masterworks Series concert set on October 13th at 6:30 PM at the MTPCSD (formerly IW) Chapel Auditorium in Mt. Pleasant.
They are beginning our 74th season: Welcome to the Symphony with a bang by opening the concert with Iowa composer Linda Robbins Coleman’s In Good King Charles’s Golden Days Overture, followed by Claude Debussy’s La Mer and An Afternoon of a Faun before ending with the masterwork of all masterworks: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.
Music Director, Robert McConnell says, “I am amazed at how much excitement performing Beethoven’s 5th Symphony generates. Some of our musicians have performed this work over 30 times and for others it’s a first. It is gripping each and every time it is performed.”
