Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra launches 77th season under new music director Benjamin Klemme leads five-concert season titled “Together, Echoing” SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com Benjamin Klemme takes the podium as the new music director of the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra, launching the ensemble’s 77th season with five concerts celebrating music’s power to unite communities.

The season, titled “Together, Echoing,” opens with “Broadway to the Big Screen” at 4 p.m. Sept. 27 at Illinois Valley Community College.

Subsequent concerts are “Resonance” on Nov. 7 in Streator, “Glories Ring” on Dec. 12 in Ottawa, “Abundance” on March 7, 2027, in Oglesby, and the finale “Influence” on May 1, 2027, in La Salle.

Klemme, who also teaches conducting at Wheaton College, was appointed after guest-conducting with the orchestra in spring 2026. He succeeds Daniel Sommerville.

“The IVSO’s 77th season celebrates the power of orchestral music to foster and strengthen community, inspire awe and wonder, and shape both who we are and who we wish to become,” Klemme said.

General Manager Aelsa Woods said the season title reflects artistic themes woven throughout the year’s programming. “‘Together, Echoing’ honors the theme of resonance in representing a group of voices raised in unison and reflecting back at each other,” Woods said. “It demonstrates the theme of abundance in its cacophony, with music going out and coming back in layers. Finally, it captures the theme of influence in the ways music reiterates through time in homage.”

The Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1949, presents professional-quality orchestral performances throughout north-central Illinois. Subscriptions and tickets are available at ivso.org. All venues are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Questions about accommodations can be directed to accessibility@ivso.org.

DEPUE BOAT RACES

Spring Valley’s Joseph Perez repeats at DePue Boat Races

By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com Before Friday, Joseph Perez hadn’t raced a boat all summer.

“I don’t have time for that anymore,” said Perez, a Spring Valley resident who will be a senior at Hall in the fall. “I have golf all year-round.”

Despite focusing more on his golf game than his racing, Perez didn’t have any trouble flying around the course at Lake DePue. Perez swept all three heats to repeat as champion in the 125cc Runabout at the Lake DePue PRO National Championship Boat Races.

“It feels great,” Perez said. “I never went back to back in anything and it feels amazing.”

The title is Perez’s third in the last four years. He won his first in 2023 and placed second in 2024 before winning the past two summers.

“It doesn’t feel real to me, honestly,” Perez said. “I didn’t actually place at all until I won in 2023 because I was just never that good. It feels great.”

Perez had near perfect starts in the first and third heats, immediately flying in front of the pack for a commanding lead.

“Just taking my time,” Perez said about the key to strong starts. “Don’t rush anything. Just know your strategy and stay wide.”

Perez was third out of the gates in the second heat, but Brad Brinkman was disqualified for crossing the starting line early and Perez eventually overtook Jon Wienandt to win the heat.

“I just focused on one driver at a time,” Perez said. “I didn’t know Brady jumped the gun there, so I was just trying to catch up to Jon.” Wienandt finished second, and Brinkman took third. DePue’s Morgan Bosnich was fifth. Perez was one of eight drivers to win titles over nine classes on Friday. The races continued Saturday and Sunday.

Austin Vanover edged Kevin Ellison to win the C Racing Hydro title. Vanover is no stranger to winning titles at DePue, but he took the past two years off after the

“It feels good,” Vanover said. “It’s special today. It’s my twins’ second birthday, so to win a national championship on their birthday is extra special.”

Vanover won the first heat then was in a neck-and-neck battle with Ellison in the second heat.

“That was fun,” Vanover said. “I’ve never actually raced with Kevin Ellison before, so there was a lot of trust factors going into the first turn and leaving him just enough room to fit his boat in, and I just hoped he wasn’t going to run into me.”

Continued from page 8 The pair was side by side in the final curve before the finish line. Ellison had the inside position, but Vanover came on the outside to earn the heat win.

“I think it worked out perfect for us to battle like that because I think I had a little bit of top end on him, so that helped,” Vanover said. “He was getting through the bottom corner better than me. It’s a little bit rougher down there, and he was more willing to drive in there harder than I was after winning the first heat. After we came through, I had enough room on him that when we got to turn two, I was able to pinch down on him a little bit harder and kill a little bit more of his momentum, which helped spring me to more of a lead at the finish.”

After winning the first two heats, Vanover had enough of a cushion that he just had to finish the final heat to win. He finished second to cap off his title with Ellison second and Doug Martin third.

Martin won the first class of the day

OSY-400 Hydro.

The final two classes of the day both had leaders taken out by red flags in the final heat.

In 175 Hydro, Mackenzie Hellsten won the first two heats, holding off Tyler Keller in a tight second heat. As drivers were on the course preparing for the third heat, Hellsten’s boat stalled near the starting line, causing a red flag, which made her ineligible for the restart.

Keller finished the third heat in second place to take the win ahead of Daniel Korpe. Hellsten placed third. Oglesby’s Camden Vasquez finished fifth.

Hennepin’s Marshall Walk made a strong move around the final turn to hold off Jackson Hall to win the first heat of 500 Runabout then place second in the second heat to put him atop the standings entering the last race of the Camden Vasquez gets ready to race during the 40th annual Pro National Championship Boat day.
