The sixth season of This Is Minnesota Orchestra series will include five broadcasts aired on Twin Cities PBS (TPT-2) and on TPT.org during the 2023-24 season, as well as on the Orchestra’s website and social media channels

The Minnesota Orchestra and Twin Cities PBS have announced an all-new season of the Upper Midwest Emmy Award-winning concert broadcast series This Is Minnesota Orchestra. Between September 29, 2023, and June 21, 2024, audiences will have access to four concerts aired live on Twin Cities PBS (TPT-2) and livestreamed via the Orchestra’s website and social media channels.
