The Augsburg Symphony Orchestra presents:
Heroic Harmonies: Music of Courage and Resilience
Friday, November 21, 2025
7 p.m.
Sateren Auditorium
Free

The music department invites you to an evening of orchestral music presented by the Augsburg Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Mark Elliot Bergman, featuring soloists Azariah Myart-Young, Sydney Elliot, and Andres Johnson.
This program brings together works that, in different ways, reflect on the idea of heroism. Battle inspires courage and intensity. Méditation offers a moment of inward reflection and the strength to change. Don Quixotte Burlesque playfully explores the determination, sometimes misguided, of a dreamer striving toward impossible ideals. Finally, Beethoven’s Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus embodies the heroic spirit of art itself, bringing light and inspiration to humanity.

ANNUAL! PERENNIAL!
Co-directed by Jay Eisenberg and Madeleine Rowe
Devised in collaboration with the student ensemble
Additional Text by Jay Eisenberg

November 13–15 | 7 p.m.
November 20–22 | 7 p.m.
November 23 | 3 p.m.

Every Fall, an extended family of farmers invites the community to attend their beloved haunted house.This year, the youngest among them has decided that it’s time for the group to apply their performance skills in a new way. Welcome to opening night of their very first play: LUNAR! SOLAR!

They’ve cleared the cornfield.
They’ve hoisted the moon.
They’ve had five days to rehearse.
What’s the worst that could happen?

ANNUAL! PERENNIAL! is a beautifully stupid love letter to the comedies and tragedies of collaboration and the triumphs and failures of what we know as “theatre.” Drawing on clown, physical comedy, theatre tradition, and folklore, co-directors Jay Eisenberg and Madeleine Rowe have guided a fantastic student ensemble through the process of original character creation, devising, and self-scripting to bring you this brand new play-within-a-play.

Yacoub Ajaffery (Education) will be sharing his story at How We Thrive on Wednesday November 12th from 12:00 p.m. – 12:20 p.m. in the Hoversten Chapel.

Yacoub first became a teacher at 12 in a refugee camp, teaching English to other refugees. Later, volunteer work in a Costa Rican orphanage turned that spark into a vocation. That path guides his work today as an ESL teacher-educator, helping future teachers turn care into practice and multilingualism into an asset. Join us for another inspiring story from one of our talented community members.
