We are thrilled to announce that Music Director Steven Larsen has extended his contract through December so we can have our farewell performances with him at the Coronado Performing Arts Center. We have opted for a somewhat light schedule for this coming fall. Based on the success of our collaboration last year, we are partnering with the Rockford Art Museum for two chamber concerts programmed by RSO Concertmaster Michèle Lekas. Maestro Larsen and the orchestra will have a grand return to the Coronado with a concert in October, and then celebrate the holidays with The Nutcracker and Holiday Pops in December.
Throughout 2022, RSO concerts will feature the nine Music Director Finalists who will each program and conduct a concert with the orchestra. The community will have the opportunity to meet and provide feedback on each conductor. The RSO’s new Music Director will be selected at the end of 2022 and begin in 2023.
Tickets for the fall performances will go on sale Wednesday, August 11. Subscriptions for the Music Director Finalists concerts will be available in mid-September. Sections of the theater will be reserved for socially-distanced seating. Please call the office for more details if you prefer this option.
Fall 2021 Box Office Hours are 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Thank you for being part of the Rockford Symphony Orchestra family! Without a doubt, no one expected we would lose an entire year of live performances, especially during what was meant to be Steven Larsen’s 30th and final season with the RSO. While many performing arts organizations took a break during the pandemic, the RSO remained committed to serving our community through the healing power of music with free content on our ComEd Digital Stage, and by creating opportunities to employ musicians in the midst of a particularly hard time.
We have used this last year to strengthen the organization through the Larsen Legacy Campaign and the creation of a new three-year strategic plan to take the organization through the return to live performances and the Music Director transition.
Please join me in thanking Immediate Past Board President Joe McCoy for his two years as president of RSO. We are both incredibly proud to be a part of this great organization. I look forward to meeting you soon at the Coronado!
Colin Peterson RSO Board President

IN MEMORIUM: JIM BRECHLIN It is with great sadness that we share that RSO bass player James “Jim” Brechlin passed away on Friday, June 25, 2021. Jim had played with the orchestra since 1985 and was known for his incredible enthusiasm. In addition to playing in the orchestra, Jim owned a bike shop in Pecatonica.
As RSO begins our reemergence to live performance, we are rebuilding our team and have two part-time positions to fill. Administrative Coordinator Development and Special Events Coordinator
