Ted Mann Concert Hall

Our home for Sommerfest 2012 and our Future Classics program in January 2013 is another world-class auditorium: Ted Mann Concert Hall, adjacent to Ferguson Hall on the University of Minnesota’s West Bank campus. The lobby overlooks the Mississippi River and offers glorious views from a three-story glass wall, while the stylish, comfortable concert hall interior has superb acoustics for symphonic, chamber and voice performances.
