The official website of the Heartland Festival Orchestra. The Heartland Festival Orchestra is a new, versatile, and innovative chamber orchestra composed of the finest professional musicians Central Illinois has to offer. The number of players will vary, sometimes being quite small, in the spirit of chamber music, and sometimes increasing for special occasions and projects. Our concerts will be presented in a variety of locations, and each one will benefit a charity partner doing great work for our community.
