Provided by the Heartland Festival Orchestra
The Heartland Festival Orchestra is proud to announce the fourth concert of the HFO inaugural season. This concert is titled “Music Alive”, because it has a theme of animals which come alive through musical portrayal. However it also shines a spotlight on the excellence of our musicians in a program which might just as well have been named, “Variations in Virtuosity”.
