I love to decorate for the holidays, and often chuckle to myself about the many seasonal collections I’ve begun over the years.

Seven applicants will guest-conduct one of this season’s performances in Peoria. Of those seven, one will be chosen to lead the Peoria Symphony Orchestra in future seasons.

"A noble libation, aged in oak casks and steeped as much in tradition as multi-layered flavor, whiskey takes time—time to make, and time to understand.”

Friends, family, food and festivities—these common factors are woven throughout generations and tie us together.
