1. Concert: Joyous in the Extreme

Bros before Crescendos! Mozart and Haydn, two of the most accomplished composers of the 18th century, had a fascinating relationship. Our performance of a symphony by each delves into how an artistic conversation unfolds in their work precisely when they had their most meaningful interactions IRL in the city of Vienna. This program brings the world of Mozart and Haydn to life!

2. Concert: Light and Sound

As epic as orchestra concerts get! A theatrical lighting scheme will underscore this bigger than life performance as wcfsymphony joins onstage with the Wartburg Community Symphony for an impressive side-by-side collaboration. Together we perform irresistible American music by John Adams and Erich Korngold, before wcfsymphony steps into the spotlight - literally - in Respighi’s monumental Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome. Progressive lighting by Cedar Fall native, Ian Veenstra.

3. Black Panther in Concert

In 2018, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what Super Hero films could be. Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.” Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa becoming king and battling Killmonger all while your wcfsymphony performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar®-winning score live to film.
