The Northshore Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Moose Lake for the Agate Encores Community Concert series on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Moose Lake Community School.
This season’s centerpiece brings acclaimed violinist Erin Aldridge to the solo spotlight for Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major—one of the most lyrical and dazzling works in the entire violin repertoire. Dr. Aldridge has just completed her 20th season as concertmaster of the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, and serves as Professor of Violin and Director of Orchestras at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. A familiar and beloved presence on Northland stages, she is an artist we are honored to feature.
Rounding out the program, Rossini’s beloved Overture to William Tell opens the concert, from its lyrical introduction to its famous galloping finale. The afternoon closes with Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, a sweeping and triumphant masterpiece that rises to one of the most stirring finales in the symphonic literature.
