A concert celebrating the human spirit traverses a wide emotional landscape from the playful to the profound. The orchestra opens with Kabalevsky’s The Comedians Suite, a spirited work full of wit and charm, its theatrical flair guaranteed to bring a smile. The mood turns deeply expressive with Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto in A Minor, performed by Garrick Woods, whose soulful and sensitive artistry brings Schumann’s poetic voice to life. The evening concludes with the Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s bold and vibrant Symphony No.1 in G Minor, a work brimming with the energy and optimism of one of Scandinavia’s great symphonists. From the whimsical to the deeply heartfelt, this concert offers a rich and rewarding musical journey.
In conjunction with this concert, we present our annual Schools to Symphony program. Committed to high quality music education in Humboldt County, the Eureka Symphony and the Humboldt County Office of Education bring approximately 1300 students to share the excitement of live symphonic music in the Arkley Center.

| | A REQUIEM FOR HUMANITY
Sponsored by Carter House Inn
May 29 & 30, 2026
Experience the profound beauty and emotional depth of Johannes Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem), in an evening of reflection, remembrance and consolation. Brahms composed this luminous masterpiece not as a mass for the dead, but as a balm for the living, with music that speaks to grief, love, and the enduring human spirit. Featuring the radiant soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon and a baritone soloist to be announced, this performance offers moments of tender intimacy and soaring grandeur. With its heartfelt text drawn from German scripture and its sweeping, deeply human musical language, this requiem stands as one of classical music’s most moving tributes to life, loss and the comfort we find in one another. | Buy Tickets |
