Opening Night 2025 Celebration

Join us in celebrating the Des Moines Symphony’s 88th Season and the fourth annual Harriet S. and J. Locke Macomber Concert. 

This pre-concert celebration is filled with live music, cocktails and dinner at the Savery Hotel. Afterward, hear Shostakovich’s shining Festive Overture, filled with triumphant brass fanfares and woodwind virtuosity, opens the season. Eighth Blackbird, America’s groundbreaking sextet, explores the rhythmic vitality and color of Viet Cuong’s Vital Sines. Tchaikovsky’s lush and expressive Symphony No. 5, with its unforgettable “fate” motif, brings the Season Debut to a triumphant close..

Ticket sales will open Monday, August 11th
