Iconic symphony

Red Deer Symphony Orchestra to perform Beethoven concert later this month

Nov 6, 2025 | 1:03 PM

The Red Deer Symphony Orchestra announced they’ll perform Ludwig van Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 5 on Saturday, November 15.

It will be the first time in 15 years that the Orchestra will perform the symphony.

The concert, called Beethoven’s Fifth, will take place at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre at 7:30 p.m. and feature well-known ragtime pieces by Scott Joplin and Igor Stravinsky.

“This concert is designed to take the audience on an emotional journey,” said RDSO Music Director, Claude Lapalme. “You have the intense drama and triumph of Beethoven’s Fifth, contrasted with the infectious rhythm of Joplin’s Ragtime. It’s a spectacular program that shows the full power and versatility of our orchestra.”

This year marks the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s 39th season, delivering high-calibre orchestral music to Central Alberta audiences.
