Humor, Passion & Power is a concert celebrating the human spirit, traversing a wide emotional landscape from the playful to the profound. Friday, April 10, and Saturday, April 11, at 7:30 PM. It is generously sponsored by Humboldt Commons.

The orchestra opens with Kabalevsky’s The Comedians Suite, a spirited work full of wit and charm, its theatrical flair guaranteed to bring a smile. The mood turns deeply expressive with Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto in A Minor, performed by cellist Garrick Woods, whose soulful and sensitive artistry brings Schumann’s poetic voice to life.

The evening concludes with the Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s bold and vibrant Symphony No.1 in G Minor, a work brimming with the energy and optimism of one of Scandinavia’s great symphonists.
The Eureka Symphony creates immersive, innovative performances by the most talented musicians in the region. Something for everyone, and all are welcome.

Concert attendees who may need assistance getting to the concert are encouraged to sign up for the Eureka Symphony’s door-to-door Shuttle Program, a safe and easy way to get to and from the concerts.

This is an interesting event, well worth checking out. These Chicago guys made six records between 1988 and 1996 that become kinda legendary in the world of "indie folk" or "alt country" or "trance roots" or "ambient Americana," whatever you want to call it. They emerge now for a rare show to promote their first record in three decades. Jeff Tweedy is a big fan (he wrote about them!), as is John Darnielle and Jonathan Lethem (they also wrote about them!), and their strange hybrid sound inspired/influenced everybody from Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven to Jim O'Rourke to Califone to Counting Crows to The Jayhawks... you should come.
