Sweeping Vistas: The Dubuque Symphony Orchestra Explores Symphonic Landscapes
February 28 & March 1 
at Five Flags Theater

​Director of Marketing and Community Relations,
Dubuque Symphony Orchestra

Eleanor Bartsch
The Dubuque Symphony Orchestra invites audiences to experience Symphonic Landscapes, an immersive concert of vivid, sweeping soundscapes, Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 1 at 2:00 p.m. at Five Flags Theater.

This highly anticipated program marks the return of former DSO Concertmaster Eleanor Bartsch, now a violinist with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Bartsch takes center stage as soloist in Samuel Barber’s beloved Violin Concerto, one of the crown jewels of the American violin repertoire. Lyrical, expansive, and soul-stirring, the concerto unfolds like a panoramic journey, capturing both quiet intimacy and the bold spirit of American musical expression. Bartsch’s return promises a performance filled with warmth, virtuosity, and deep personal connection.

Adding to the sense of community and shared artistry, members of the Dubuque Symphony Youth Orchestra will join the DSO for a special side-by-side performance of Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia. This powerful work, with its noble themes and surging intensity, stands as a symbol of unity and hope.

The program concludes with Sibelius’ Symphony No. 1, an immersive soundscape that moves from brooding, windswept beginnings to soaring climaxes and moments of hushed reflection. Both intimate and epic, the symphony provides a stirring finale to a concert rooted in storytelling and musical connection.

​Tickets start at $20 and are available online at dubuquesymphony.org or at Five Flags Box Office, open Thursdays and Fridays 10am-5pm (entrance at 4th and Locust Streets) and one hour prior to performance in theater lobby. (Purchasing at box office avoids online Ticketmaster fees.)

Anthony Shore 
and His All-Star Band Present 
Elvis in Concert
Live at Five Flags
Saturday, March 14

by Thomas Robbins,
​Five Flags Assistant General Manager

Rock ’n’ roll royalty is coming to Dubuque as Anthony Shore and his All-Star Band bring their acclaimed production Elvis in Concert to Five Flags Theater for one unforgettable night Saturday, March 14, at 7:00 p.m.

Step into the electrifying world of Elvis Presley as Anthony Shore delivers a powerful and authentic tribute to the King of Rock ’n’ Roll — marking the first time this spectacular show comes to Dubuque. Anthony Shore’s journey with Elvis’s music began at the age of three when he received his first Elvis record. By sixteen, he was performing professionally. Before relocating to the United States in 2011, Shore toured extensively throughout Europe, performing to sold-out audiences in Spain, Cyprus, France, Tenerife, and London. Backed by a dynamic 10-piece live band, Elvis in Concert is a high-energy, concert-style production celebrating Elvis’s legendary career. Shore is widely recognized for his authentic vocals and commanding stage presence, bringing beloved classics to life — from the explosive “Hound Dog” and “Suspicious Minds” to the emotional “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and the show-stopping “American Trilogy.”

This thrilling tribute captures the spirit, sound, and excitement of Elvis’s iconic live performances and promises an unforgettable evening of nostalgia and musical excellence for fans of all ages. For more information, visit www.elvismn.com. 

​Tickets are on sale now at fiveflagscenter.com or you can buy them in person at the Five Flags Center Box Office on Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00am-5:00pm.
