The Eureka Symphony presents the final night of its 2024/2025 season finale, appropriately titled “A Grand Finale.” The program features the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by late Romantic period Polish composer Grazyna Bacewicz, with Cal Poly Humboldt professor Daniela Mineva on the keys, along with Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, aka, “the dance one.” The string that ties these two pieces together shared roots in folk reels and dances at the time, a subject I covered with music director and conductor Carol Jacobson in a recent interview (stay tuned to this publication for more on that soon). As always, huzzah for our beloved local symphony, I’m certainly looking forward to this one, as any lover of orchestral music should be too. The Arkley Center for the Performing Arts is the place, 7:30 p.m. is the time, and the tickets are priced in advance from $21-$54, but if it’s not sold out and you show up early with cash, you might be able to score some $15 seats, $10 for students.
