For the second year I have been totally delighted by the "Future Classics" concert. This is the concert featuring new compositions by young composers chosen to collaborate with our Minnesota Orchestra through a fairly rigorous competition. This concert lets the audience not only hear some exciting new music, but also meet the composers and hear from them about their inspirations and other details re their compositions. This has become one of my favorite events. You can stream the concert starting the Monday after Thanksgiving on MPR's classical website.
There were some empty seats tonight. If you love music, this is definitely a yearly concert you might want to support. Tickets start at just $20 (less for students).
