Speaking of the DSSO …
The Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra s season finale is From Beethoven to Milhaud, a diverse showcase likened to a quilt. The program includes Milad Yousufi s Freedom, Osvaldo Golijov s ZZ s Dream, Darius Milhaud s Le Boeuf sur le Toit, Beethoven s Lenore No. 3 and Mozart s Clarinet Concerto with soloist Jennifer Gerth.
Per usual, the concerts have a limited number of in-person seats available, and they are available to stream. Duluth Homegrown is also streaming the concert concurrently on its YouTube page.
Gerth is the DSSO s principal clarinet player, and she has been with the orchestra since 1997. Visit dsso.com.

This year’s hour-long video showcase is a well-curated mix of music and activities, with Brian Barber’s Draw-Along Fun Time teaching kids how to draw a chicken and Bootsy Collins (because, why not?). Local kid favorite Dan the Monkey Man debuted a new song, “I Got a Good Dog” with plenty of pup footage. Chris Monroe read her book
