Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Excitement is building for this year’s Michael Veldman and Friends Holiday Concert! Tickets are going fast and we are expecting another sell-out crowd. This show is titled “Toyland” and features all new songs.

The show will be held at 2 p.m. on Dec. 15, at Knowlton Auditorium.

Tickets are available at the Coffee House on Main and Hy-Vee or at www.austinmnsymphony.org for $25 before the concert. Ticket price at the door is $30. Children 18 and under are free, as are college students with student ID.

Michael, along with Kaye Perry, Erin Schumacher and Brian Bawek, will again present a great variety of popular and religious selections along with entertaining skits. This much-loved show has become an Austin tradition and a wonderful community celebration of the Holiday season.

And don’t forget our other upcoming concerts: Stringworks on Feb. 16 featuring local violinist Brandon Lawhead, plus violinist Rachel Barton Pine on March 30 and pianist Kenny Broberg on May 4. In fact, it would be a good deal to purchase a season ticket online since it would include four concerts.

The season tickets are $70 for seniors and $80 for adults and are available at www.austinmnsymphony.org. For more information call 507 460-3678.
