LineUp

Based in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Orchestra (founded 1903 as the Minneapolis Symphony) performs about 175 concerts yearly, mostly at Orchestra Hall. Known by its current name since 1968, it has earned a Grammy Award and toured Cuba, South Africa, and Europe.
Johannes Brahms, born in Hamburg, Germany, was a pivotal Romantic era composer. He masterfully blended classical forms with rich harmonies and lyrical melodies in his symphonies, concertos, and chamber music. Celebrated for works like "Hungarian Dances" and his "Lullaby," he is considered one of classical music's "Three Bs" alongside Bach and Beethoven, leaving an enduring legacy.
Athens-born violinist and conductor Leonidas Kavakos won the International Sibelius Competition (1985). His 1990 Sibelius Violin Concerto recording earned Gramophone’s Concerto of the Year. He has toured widely and recorded with Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), born in Eisenach, Germany, was a pivotal Baroque composer. Renowned for his mastery of counterpoint and polyphony, he enriched German styles with Italian and French influences. His prolific output includes iconic works like the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Mass in B Minor, and Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Bach is celebrated as one of history's greatest composers, whose genius continues to inspire.
