HSO Looks for New Conductor

The Heartland Symphony Orchestra is searching for a new Musical Director-Conductor for next season. This season the HSO will be lead by Curt Tryggestad, Superintendent of the Little Falls Community Schools and by Michael Zellgert, Director of the Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra.
Joseph Schlefke had been the conductor from 2002 to 2007. He is now conductor of three symphonies in the Twins Cities. The Heartland Symphony Orchestra is a 50-piece volunteer community orchestra serving the Brainerd and Little Falls areas.
The HSO is currently opening its 32nd season of presenting six annual concerts, three each in Little Falls and Brainerd. The Fall concert often features one or more guest artists, the Winter concert has a Christmas theme often including local choirs, special ensembles or a guest artist, and the Spring concert features winners of the HSO Young Artist Competition.
The new conductor will begin his duties with the 2009-2010 season.
