As we embark upon May, another season of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra comes to a close. Our final full orchestra concert concluded on April 25 with our performance of Turandot. Now we look forward to our last Chamber concert, featuring the Dakota String Quartet and Dakota Wind Quintet on Sunday, May 17 at 2:30 pm.
The 2009-2010 season will kick off at the end of September, but between now and then we will be collaborating with the Porcupine Singers from Pine Ridge for the Lakota Music Project. The Dakota Chamber Orchestra will tour five cities with the Porcupine Singers (Flandreau, Sioux Falls, Mission, Pine Ridge and Rapid City). These two groups will play for each other and with each other, focusing on cultural music that expresses four common human experiences: love, war, mourning, and celebration.
The following concerts are free and open to the public:
Flandreau - Wednesday, May 20, 7 pm - Crystal Theater
Sioux Falls - Thursday, May 21, 7 pm - Multi-Cultural Center, downtown
Mission - Friday, May 22, 7 pm - Multi-Purpose Building, SGU Campus
Pine Ridge - Saturday, May 23, 6 pm - Red Cloud Indian School
Rapid City - Sunday, May 24, 2 pm - 1st Congregational Church of Christ
Join us for the Lakota Music Project tour! We are excited to share this cultural fusion with all!
