Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s winter concert will once again be impacted by the restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Music Director Ryan Webber has instead created a compilation of previous concert footage that premiered at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19. Alexander Corbett, the former music director, was included in the program as a special guest.

The program also included footage from past holiday concerts, a few new favorites from the orchestra’s “Music Monday” series, as well as the Christmas Sing-Along Finale, a favorite tradition at the orchestra’s holiday concerts.

Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s virtual winter concert “Holidays Around the (Virtual) World” is available to watch at Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s website www.HeartlandSymphony.com and YouTube channel.

These concerts are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council, with legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. In Little Falls, the Laura Jane Musser Fund provides additional support.
