2025-2026 Season Dates
We are thrilled to announce the dates for our 33rd season of acclaimed music-making, led by Music Director Taichi Fukumura. As many of you know, the UIS Performing Arts Center in Springfield will undergo a major plumbing project this season.
We are pleased to officially announce that the Illinois Symphony Orchestra will perform four Symphony Orchestra concerts and our Family Pops concert at the First United Methodist Church. Additionally, two Chamber Orchestra concerts will remain at First Presbyterian Church, and our Holiday Pops in the Heartland concerts will be held at the beautiful Illinois State Library.
In Bloomington, concerts will continue to be held at ISU's Center for the Performing Arts and Second Presbyterian Church.
We look forward to sharing another incredible season of LIVE music with you!
Mark your calendars to join us for the 2025-2026 season!
