Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates when the enslaved men, women and children of Galveston, Texas, became freed—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. At Orchestra Hall this Juneteenth, hear stirring pieces written and performed by Black artists alongside the Minnesota Orchestra. 

Guests are also invited to explore a vibrant curated vendor space in the lobby, featuring ten African American-owned businesses. Support local Black entrepreneurs and experience the powerful intersection of music, culture and community.
