About the St Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra

Craig Hara, SCVSO interim conductor, has been a frequent performer with many Twin Cities organizations and artists, and can be heard on recordings and on scores for motion pictures and television. Craig holds degrees from the California Institute of the Arts, and is on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin at River Falls, Hamline University, and Century College. He is also the current Music Director and Conductor of the East Metro Symphony Orchestra.

Dr. Kristin Tjornehoj, professor of music at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, is the director and regular conductor of the St. Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra is comprised of UWRF students and of community members from the greater St. Croix Valley. Rehearsing on Monday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., the ensemble explores a wide variety of repertoire. Designed to meet the needs of the membership by providing a quality performance venue, the group also excels at outreach for the St. Croix Valley.

The orchestra commonly practices and performs in the William Abbott Concert Hall in the Kleinpell Fine Arts building on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, with the gracious support of the university. But it also offers its musical gifts in other locations such as Boutwells Landing in Oak Park Heights, MN, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater, MN.

A note to interested musicians: contact Kris Tjornehoj at 715-410-7416 for information on auditions.
