Centennial Crescendo: Prelude to a Grand Celebration!

Welcome to the Hastings Symphony Orchestra’s Season 99! In the buildup to our milestone one-hundredth season, we have a diverse and exciting lineup planned, including favorite symphonies of Beethoven, Bruckner, and Brahms, along with Ravel’s ever-popular Boléro, a tribute to PDQ Bach humorist Peter Schickele, and an appearance by Nebraska’s rising violin star Jessica Mathaes. Thank you for supporting the HSO—and see you at the Symphony!

Please join us for what will be an incredible HSO Season 99, Centennial Crescendo: Prelude to a Grand Celebration!

Musically yours,
