South Dakota Symphony Orchestra Announces 2022-23 Season

Today the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra announced details of its 2022-23 season, marking the organization's second century of performances. The new season will feature three inspiring choral works (Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony), appearances by world class guest artists (pianists Conrad Tao, Orion Weiss and violinist Rui Du), plus great symphonies of Brahms and Sibelius and Ravel's Bolero. Popular presentations will feature the annual celebration of the holidays - 'Tis the Season - music from Sci-Fi movies and television shows, and an evening of romantic standards with jazz singer Luke Carlsen who was born and raised in Sioux Falls and is now a fixture in the Los Angeles entertainment scene.

"Our Centennial celebration continues to be a thrill," said South Dakota Symphony Orchestra Music Director Delta David Gier. "Audiences and donors have really responded enthusiastically, and it has energized our entire organization. In announcing next season, we will build on this momentum - from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to Ravel's Bolero to the Sci-Fi Spectacular, there is much for our musicians to look forward to."
