The music we bring to people is characteristic of that normally found at ticketed performances at opera houses our orchestral halls. MN Sinfonia eliminates barriers to classical and orchestral music, and people love that we deliver it in casual atmospheres in accessible neighborhood locations where children are always welcome and admission is always free.

CELLO MASTER – event cancelled
In accordance with public health recommendations regarding the COVID-19 virus, the staff and Board of Directors of the Sinfonia have elected to discontinue live performances through April. All public programs will be canceled during this time.
While no case of the virus has been reported amongst our staff, orchestra or Board of Directors, we feel this is a prudent step to ensure everyone’s health and safety.
The Sinfonia Board and staff are meeting weekly to discuss public health updates and to plan alternatives, and we hope to be able to offer creative ways to stay connected to us during this interim period to satisfy the music and educational needs of our community and Minnesotans everywhere.
Look for updates on our website and through social and electronic media as the situation progresses.
Thanks so much for your understanding and ongoing support.
