Orchestra Iowa’s 2017-18 season kicks off Sept. 9 with the 10th edition of “Brucemorquestra,” on the lawn of Cedar Rapids’ historic Brucemore mansion. The program will be Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, “Ode to Joy,” which was also performed at the very first Brucemorquestra, just weeks after the 2008 flood. Joining the Orchestra will be Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, and college choruses from Kirkwood, Coe, and Mt. Mercy.
Tim Hankewich says this is no coincidence, as the symphony’s theme of brotherhood and standing together rings even more true today as ten years ago.
Tim also hints at some unique audience participation for the encore!
