Young Artists Concert and Orchestra Festival
with the Health Sciences Orchestra of the University of Minnesota Sunday, April 22, 2018 2PM Sibelius Karelia Overture Sibelius Symphony No. 2 Join us as we welcome the next winner(s) of our Young Artists’ Competition to the stage of the Ames Center. Winners of our Young Artists’ Competition have gone on to careers in music at some of our country’s finest collegiate institutions. It is always great fun to hear them in their earliest winning performances. Sibelius said, "My second symphony is a confession of the soul." The irony is that at the same time it is reflective, and intimately inspiring…it is also powerful beyond words. We are pleased to welcome the Health Sciences Orchestra of the University of Minnesota to this performance for they will help us bring the full force and gentle utterance of this Symphony to bloom and the conclusion of our 32nd Season.
