Locked Out Musicians Play For Sold-Out Crowd

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Thursday night should have been opening night for the Minnesota Orchestra. And although the musicians are locked out, they played to a sell-out crowd.

The musicians were honored with a standing ovation when they took the stage at the Minneapolis Convention Center Auditorium.

Dozens of people who couldn't get tickets stood in the back to see the performance.

The musicians say they'll consider doing more concerts in the coming weeks if the lockout continues.
