Asbury United Methodist Church

The Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra (KVSO) is pleased to announce the next concert of its 2026-2027 Season: Beautiful Places - ¡Qué hermoso lugar! – featuring music inspired by Spain. On Saturday, October 17 at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Sean Paul MILLS, the KVSO’s Artistic Director &amp; Conductor, will lead the orchestra in a program featuring music by Joaquin RODRIGO, Edouard LALO, Isaac ALBENIZ, and Emmanuel CHABRIER, and featuring the KVSO’s Principal Cello, Bob HAUSER, as soloist.
This energetic and passionate program will feature both familiar and unfamiliar works inspired by the people, culture, and natural beauty of Spain. Joquin RODRIGO’s Tres Viejas Aires de Danza (Three Old Dance Airs/Tunes) opens the concert with the past meeting the musical vision of a modern composer in a delightful work for chamber orchestra. The KVSO’s Principal Cello, Bob HAUSER, then joins the full orchestra for Edouard LALO’s virtuosic and impassioned Cello Concerto in d minor. Following intermission, the orchestra will take us on a musical journey through the Spanish countryside as it performs two movements from Isaac ALBENIZ’s Iberia: Suite for Orchestra – Evocation &amp; Fete-Dieu a Seville and Emmanual CHABRIER’s Espana. 
Cellist Bob HAUSER has “survived” both of the more lucrative family employment paths of auto repair and house painting to be a performer &amp; educator of cello and upright bass. As a cellist, he has performed with the Beloit-Janesville Symphony, Rockford Symphony, Elgin Symphony, Champaign Urbana Symphony, Illinois Symphony, New Philharmonic, Illinois Philharmonic, Waukegan Symphony, Whiting Pops Orchestra, Peoria Symphony, Southwest Symphony, and Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra. Bob spent 3 years at Illinois Wesleyan University where he studied cello with Barbara Hedlund and bass with Bill Koehler. He finished his Bachelor’s degree in Music at Northern Illinois University and stayed for 2 years of Master’s studies with cellist Marc Johnson. He was a low string specialist for Lincolnway Youth Strings for 7 years as well as spending short stints teaching beginning orchestra and high school orchestra.
Plan on joining Sean Paul at 6:15 p.m. for the free pre-concert discussion “Beyond the Score” as he discusses the composers, compositions, and inspiration behind the works featured on the program. 
Experiencing this lovingly created and performed music in the comfortable confines of the Sanctuary at Asbury United Methodist Church in Kankakee. Please join us for this memorable and moving concert experience as we continue our 59th
Season “Beautiful Places.”
Tickets for KVSO concerts are available through the KVSO website at <a href="https://www.kvso.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.kvso.org</a> and at the door beginning one (1) hour before each performance. Adults are $30 and Children are $5.

The Ranch

Create magic this season at Believe ✨
Growing up with four sisters probably drained my parents on a daily basis: emotionally, physically, and even financially.

We didn't get everything we asked for. We wore hand-me-downs, and got two pairs of shoes every school year. One for everyday school and a pair of gym shoes.

But when it came to Christmas, Mom and Dad made sure it was magical.

From Gram’s Christmas Eve Polish feast, to presents straight out of the pages of the Sears Wishbook, and all the way through to Christmas morning, when Santa arrived overnight and brought us every Fisher-Price toy and Barbie doll, car, home and outfit there was.

It wasn't just the gifts that made that time of year the very best. It was being with my whole family: aunts, uncles, Gram and my cousins. The joking, the laughing, playing games with our new haul, and just being together. That's what mattered most, then and now.

This year I'm putting all those feelings into a single Christmas event and sharing it with you, so your family can create the memories your kids will still love, even 50 years later.

Your Visit to Believe · Sunday, November 8 · The Ranch in Frankfort
<ul><li>Santa's Wonderland: Before meeting Santa, the kids craft, shop and sip hot chocolate.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Stone Fireplace: A cozy stone fireplace, decked out for the holidays, sets the scene for your family portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Santa's Front Porch: In the barn, on a fully decorated country front porch, the kids meet the BEST Santa: authentic, jolly and a true professional. Every moment is captured for the sweetest portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Ranch "Reindeer": We finish with a visit to the Ranch's gentle donkeys, wearing their antlers.</li></ul>

You get all the magic of the season, plus portraits you'll revisit and treasure every single year at Christmastime.

Make this year a new tradition, and create unforgettable memories at Believe — A Santa Experience on November 8.
