SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

The Minnesota Sinfonia at Lake Harriet (Photo Credit: Tim Nolan)The Sinfonia takes to the parks in summertime to present the same high quality concerts as our Winter Series in scenic outdoor parks such as Lake Phalen Regional Park in St. Paul and Lake Harriet Band Shell in Minneapolis.

The highlight of the summer for up to 30 of the area’s most talented young musicians, is Youth Outreach Week, when dedicated players have the opportunity to experience a “week in the life” of a professional musician, rehearsing side by side, and performing with the Sinfonia’s professional musicians at Lake Harriet Band Shell in Minneapolis.


WINTER CONCERT SERIES

The Sinfonia at Temple IsraelThe Sinfonia concert programs include  well-known orchestral works by the great composers, as well as new works by American composers, and showcase accomplished guest soloists from around the world.

Concerts are performed in comfortable neighborhood settings including Minneapolis venues, the Basilica of Saint Mary and Temple Israel, and St. Paul venues Metropolitan State University and First Covenant Church.
