There were eight concerts announced with the first beginning at the Tyson Events Center with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert,” on September 30th.

“And these programs feature a variety of artists, but they also feature the amazing musicians within the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra,” said the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra Director Ryan Haskins, “Musicians who come from all over the region, some 200 miles away, just one way to be part of this organization.”

To celebrate the finish of the 107th season, Sioux City native, writer, and director of Aladdin, Ron Clements will be in attendance to honor the once-in-a-lifetime film and orchestral event.

“To have Ron here part of this weekend is really special,” said Haskins, “The art forms in this way cross, I respect him as a maestro of his own craft. So, we can share stories and him having a part of this season has been a real pinnacle to what we’ve been able to offer the community.”
