And what better way to warm up for our concert than with a vodka tasting? Attendees will enjoy a pre-concert reception with complimentary vodka tasting, courtesy of Opulent Vodka, and light hors d'oeuvres provided by Hell's Kitchen. Following the concert, the party will move to Hell's Kitchen for more good times with fellow Crescendo Project patrons, Music Director Osmo Vänskä, Minnesota Orchestra Musicians, and members of the Minnesota Orchestra Board of Directors. The evening's schedule will be:

6:30-8:00PM - Reception and Vodka Tasting Orchestra Hall, Tier Drop
