The Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra’s 65th season begins with a concert of majestic music to stir the soul. The dramatic sweep of the Hiawatha Overture shows why Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is considered one of the finest composers of the late 19th century. Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5 offers rich orchestral colors and a rousing finale based on the hymn “A Mighty Fortress.” CUSO is joined by the University of Illinois Oratorio Society and Chamber Singers to perform Dvořák’s uplifting Te Deum, one of his most joyous and celebratory works for soloists, chorus, and orchestra.
