Minnesota Orchestra

Minnesota Orchestra celebrates its second century as one of America’s premier symphonic ensembles, gathering accolades from publications such as the New York Times. Concerts take place at Orchestra Hall, where a wooden floor with a one-inch separation from its supporting structure enhances the evening’s acoustics, enlivening orchestral sounds and preventing midair collisions between notes.
