BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE DES MOINES SYMPHONY WITH BRADLEY MAREK

Apr 17, 2025

 

Prior to the 2024-25 season, the Iowa Wild and Des Moines Symphony partnered to create a unique intro video to play ahead of the team’s games at Wells Fargo Arena. During filming, players and musicians shared the ice, creating an exciting juxtaposition of athleticism and artistry. 

While hockey games and classical music performances take place in distinctly different viewing environments, the Iowa Wild and Des Moines Symphony are more similar than one might expect. Both feature high-level performers that devote hours of practice to their crafts, and the two groups are focused on growing hockey and music in the state of Iowa. 

Bradley Marek recently went behind the scenes at the Des Moines Symphony to learn more about the performing arts. Watch the video above to follow along as he gets a special tour and chats with musicians!
