Comic Relief: A Night at the Symphony

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony's Season Finale is "Comic Relief: A Night at the Symphony." We close the season with a concert full of wit, charm, and symphonic surprises! We open with Garrison Keillor's "The Young Lutheran’s Guide to the Orchestra," a hilarious and heartfelt introduction to the instruments and personalities of the ensemble. Then, comedy takes center stage with P.D.Q. Bach’s "Beethoven Symphony No. 5 Sportscast," an outrageous twist on the first movement of Beethoven’s iconic Fifth. Finally, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony brings it all home with the real thing—performing the remaining movements of Beethoven’s masterwork just as the composer intended.
