SUNDAY: Music of Love and the Stars @ Ted Mann Concert Hall – St. Paul
This event sounds really cool. Any description I have won't do it justice so here it is from the source:
"The University Singers, Chamber Singers and Women's Chorus present a program of a cappella and accompanied choral music in collaboration with the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet (MGQ) featuring the first performance of Jeffrey Van's new work Music of Love & the Stars for Mixed Choir and Guitar Quartet based on the poetry of Jesus Silva. The MGQ commissioned this new work. Kathy Saltzman Romey and Matthew Mehaffey, conductors."
Even cooler: In case you can't make it, the performance will be live streamed!
Ted Mann Concert Hall is located on 2128 Fourth Street South in Minneapolis.
Free | All ages | 4 p.m. show
