“We’re delighted to invite you to the Mankato Symphony Orchestra’s 2025–26 season—our 75th Anniversary, a remarkable milestone that honors our legacy while embracing new horizons,” said Executive Director Bethel Balge. “This year’s programs—ranging from the rhythmic fire of Latin Pulse to the joy and grandeur of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, the vivid drama of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, and the bold American colors of Soundtrack of Our Nation— offer a season full of inspiring, uplifting, and joy-filled moments to share together.
Symphony on the Prairie is also made possible by our generous sponsors: Lindsay Windows, Mankato Motors, Minnesota Valley Federal Credit Union, and Monarch Healthcare Management. Thank you for supporting this event.
