ACCENT / Meet a Musician evenings provide "insider access" to the world of classical music through an intimate interview with a classical musician, conductor or ensemble.

 

Come celebrate the first ACCENT of the season with FRIENDS.  Bring your siblings and all your besties as we hear the remarkable story of how not one, but TWO! pairs of sisters found their way to the Minnesota Orchestra!  Featured artists are Emily Switzer, second violin, and Sarah Switzer, viola; as well as Sarah Grimes, first violin and sister Lydia Grimes, viola.

 

Hear them make music together and chat with MPR's Melissa Ousley. You don't want to miss this program!


Your ticket includes light food and beverage hospitality during the social hour, as well as the program of a musician interview and performance. An outstanding value for one of the Twin Cities most unique musical events.
