Saturday, Oct. 7 is the season opener for the Marquette Symphony Orchestra (MSO) An Evening with Tim Kliphuis. The concert will take place at the Louis G. Kaufman Auditorium, 611 N Front St. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the concert beginning at 7 p.m.
For the first half of the concert, composer and a guest Tim Kliphuis will perform Violin Concerto in D minor from “Ulysses” with the orchestra. The second half will include a performance of the well-known Symphony No. 9 in E minor, “From the New World” by Antonin Dvorak.
Andrew LaCombe is a cellist in the MSO and began playing for them in 2006.
“Music has really been a way to connect with my family, friends and community on a special level. I was lucky to have many opportunities with music in Marquette,” LaCombe said.
LaCombe attended Lawrence University and got a cello performance degree and continues to play in orchestras and teach private lessons.
The MSO is supported by the Michigan Arts and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as private donors.
Ticket prices for the MSO start at $15 and a discount for Northern Michigan University students at $10. If you would like to attend, you can purchase tickets online at the NMU Tickets website.
