Season Tickets On Sale for Terre Haute Symphony 96th Season, Disney in Concert Returns

[Terre Haute, IN] – After working in 2020 to continue programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra (THSO) is pleased to announce season tickets are on sale for their 96th Season titled Sights, Sounds & Stories! Along with continuing virtual and in-person programming, the THSO will perform their annual holiday concert and welcome back the wildly popular Disney in Concert in April 2022.

Enhanced guest experience will be a topic of focus for the THSO during the upcoming season with the plan to include more visual elements and projections to supplement the film and movie season theme.

“Our plan is to include scenes or visual projections in Tilson that complement the musical programming and give our audiences a unique and enjoyable concert experience,” commented Samantha Johnson-Helms, Executive Director and Principal Clarinet.

Artistic Director and Conductor David Bowden also expressed his excitement about the new season. “As I enter my 25th season with the THSO, I am delighted to offer spectacular music that I believe will appeal to the first-time concert attender as well as to the seasoned concert-goer. I invite you to come hear this fabulous professional musical ensemble that plays all styles of music and that is located right here in Terre Haute! And we have a great first-time season subscriber offer to help make the experience affordable for everyone.”

The THSO’s 96th season kicks off on September 25, 2021 with Scheherazade Tells Stories which includes Rimsky-Korsakov’s brilliantly colorful Scheherazade, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite, Wagner’s famous Flight of the Valkyries, and the recognizable Raiders March from the movie Indiana Jones by John Williams. Rimsky-Korsakov brilliantly represents Scheherazade and the tales she told in his piece filled with orchestral color and virtuosity, forging it as one of the most compelling and exciting works ever written!

On November 6, 2021, the THSO presents Brahms & Beach and will welcome cellist Leonardo Altino and violinist Soh-Hyun Park Altino for Brahms’s Double Concerto, a piece that was written by Brahms to repair a strained friendship. Also on the program is Amy Beach’s superb “Gaelic” Symphony, the first symphony published by a female American composer. Amy Beach was an extraordinary woman. In a time when women rarely considered a music career, Amy was one of the greatest composers in our country. Her “Gaelic” Symphony is filled to the brim with passion, power, beauty, and lyrical melodies.

On April 30, 2022, the THSO presents Rach 2 with Di Wu. Displaying tenderness, lyricism, power, and a charming charisma, Di Wu returns to Terre Haute to perform Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, considered by many to be the world’s favorite piano concerto. The concert opens with a favorite work composed by Dan Powers, Overture for the THSO, the Symphony’s Composer-in-Residence, and concludes with Brahms’s astonishingly powerful Symphony No. 1.

The THSO also plans to continue virtual offerings including concert recordings and online education programs with the help of a generous grant from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. Follow the THSO on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to catch up on their latest video uploads!

As pandemic conditions allow, the THSO will bring back their popular Supper at the Symphony events that take place in the Heritage Ballroom of Tirey Hall prior to all concerts at Tilson Auditorium.
