Youth Outreach Week

We aim to be back in 2023 for a robust Youth Outreach Week, COVID permitting. Watch for upcoming announcements.

Join the Twin Cities’ top talented young musicians to experience a “week in the life” of a professional musician by participating in intensive orchestra rehearsals then joining the MN Sinfonia in performing a concert at the beautiful Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis. It’s unique and valuable experience for up and coming young musicians!
