A new season begins as Music Director Osmo Vänskä conducts music written for our very own city of Minneapolis in Kalevi Aho’s Minea. Then one of Western classical music’s greatest talents, violinist Joshua Bell, takes the stage for Max Bruch’s heroic Scottish Fantasy. Jessie Montgomery’s Banner invites us to consider the sound of an anthem for our time before Vänskä and the Orchestra soar through one of history’s extraordinary symphonies, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth. We’ve waited two years to launch a season like this!
