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.

Check out more upcoming music events.

Hello! My name’s Julius and I am a student at Augsburg university! I have a research project for my English class and I am looking for people to pariticipate in my survey! It is a short and informal survey for my class, so its not asking you anything personal.

There is a completely optional choice to opt-in to receive a free astrology reading as a little “Thank You” for completeing the survey. More info in the survey!

Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/6KUe8gbtLHsVt1DB8

(To those who were frustrated or bummed out that they may have missed the opportunity: This post was originally up and running early Monday morning, but got taken down due to suspected IRB violations. I had to contact and change a couple things and got everything approved by the chair of IRB, so you can now take the survey!)

Thank you!
