The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra announced that individual concert tickets to the 2024-25 season, its 103rd, will go on sale Friday, August 23rd at 10am.

The new season opens October 5 with a program led by Music Director Delta David Gier featuring the fiery Symphonie fantastique of Hector Berlioz and a pair of showpieces for the violin performed by acclaimed soloist Rachel Barton Pine. Other classical highlights include Beethoven's Fourth Symphony (Jan. 25, 2025), “New World Encounters” (Mar. 1, 2025) – a multimedia concert event from noted scholar and frequent SDSO collaborator Joseph Horowitz that explores the impact of American jazz and popular culture on Europe and Russia, and Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor (Apr. 5, 2025) with the South Dakota Symphony Chorus. Popular presentations include “She's Got Soul” – a concert showcasing the powerhouse vocals of Capathia Jenkins, the annual celebration of the holidays – ‘Tis the Season – and “A Celtic Celebration” featuring music of the Emerald Isle. The season concludes April 26 & 27 with the revival of Giants in the Earth - the Pulitzer Prize winning opera by Douglas Moore based on Ole Edvard Rølvaag's novel about Norwegian settlers in the Dakota Territories.
“This upcoming season is wide-ranging, colorful and dynamic,” said South Dakota Symphony Orchestra Music Director Delta David Gier. “It represents the kind of programming which has won our orchestra accolades across the country. Plenty of highlights from the orchestral repertoire, exciting soloists, world premieres which are timely and relevant, and an opera the story of which takes place right here in South Dakota.”
