The Minnesota Orchestra Announces New Concert Date with Indigo Girls on March 26

The program marks Indigo Girls’ third performance with the Orchestra since their sold-out debut at Orchestra Hall in 2019

The Minnesota Orchestra announced today that the Grammy Award-winning folk pop duo Indigo Girls will make their much-anticipated return with the ensemble in March 2024. With Sarah Hicks, principal conductor of Live at Orchestra Hall, Indigo Girls will take the stage for a fusion of their signature songs as arranged for orchestra.

The one-night-only event will take place on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m., with ticket prices ranging from $45 to $135. Tickets are available now at minnesotaorchestra.org.

Founded in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1985, Indigo Girls is made up of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. The duo first appeared alongside the Minnesota Orchestra in a sold-out performance in February 2019 that was conducted by Sarah Hicks; following their debut, they returned for two concerts in June 2022. Their forthcoming appearance with the Minnesota Orchestra will take place during the nationwide tour for their 16th studio album Look Long, which was released in 2020.

Indigo Girls’ self-titled breakout studio album in 1989 earned a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Since then, the duo has earned numerous Gold and Platinum records and collaborated with artists ranging from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez. Beginning in 2017, Indigo Girls have performed more than 50 concerts with symphony orchestras across the United States; in 2018, after many collaborations with the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra, they released a live double album entitled Indigo Girls Live with the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra.

 

About Indigo Girls

With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them, Indigo Girls have forged their own way in the music business. Selling over 14 million records, they are the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s and ’10s. In 2012, Saliers and Ray embarked on a bold new chapter, collaborating with a pair of orchestrators to prepare large-scale arrangements of their songs to perform with symphony orchestras around the country. With this successful project, the duo created a seamless blend of folk, rock, pop and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without scarifying the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades. The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes. They are co-founders of Honor the Earth, a non-profit based in Minneapolis that is dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities, Indigenous environmental justice and green energy solutions.
