HISTORY | Replaying the past

“A Symphonic Suite of Music History,” presented by Richard A. Haglund, assistant conductor of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and adjunct professor at Blackburn College, is the first in a four-part series that begins this year at the Hoogland Center for the Arts. Music aficionados, novices or anyone in between can learn more about the history and evolution of music with a focus on symphonic literature.

The lectures take place through March on Tuesday afternoons. Each talk costs $10 or if you pay for all four at once the price is $35. Proceeds go to support the HCFTA and the Sangamon Valley Youth Symphony. Register by phone or at hcfta.org.
