Marjorie Christiansen Foundation

Wisconsin Arts Board – “This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.”

“As we celebrated the Racine Symphony Orchestra’s 85 year legacy, I came to realize the shared anniversary with one of classical music’s masters, Franz Joseph Haydn. The “Father

of the Symphony,” Haydn was born in 1732, exactly 200 years

before the RSO was founded. Given this happy coincidence,

I thought it would be a wonderful long-range goal for the

Orchestra to play all of the Haydn symphonies, starting with

No. 85 through our shared centennial and beyond. In addition

to the symphonic works, our Masterworks Concerts will also

include concerti, chamber, opera and choral works. I have

often felt that the works of Haydn are underrepresented in

today’s concert halls. This project will put the Racine Symphony

Orchestra on the vanguard of cultural organizations who will,

no doubt, celebrate the tricentennial with much fanfare

in 2032.”

- Artistic Director and Conductor Pasquale Laurino
