Civic Orchestra of Minneapolis

Welcome to our 58th season!

We open our season on November 1st at Wayzata Community Church with a program titled From Spain to the New World. The program begins with Debussy’s colorful Iberia and we conclude with Dvorak’s mighty New World Symphony. In between be dazzled by the virtuoso mandolin playing of composer, Joan Griffith, playing her own Mandolin Concerto. In December travel with us to Vienna for a rare performance of Haydn’s St. Nicholas Mass with the Normandale Choir and then to London for Vaughan Williams’ Symphony no. 2 – The London. We are once again delighted to be a part of the wonderful Music at Wayzata Concert Series. February brings us back to Wayzata for Russian Fireworks with composers Tchaikovsky, Khachaturian and Shostakovich. And we conclude our season at Wayzata with a Syttende Mai concert and first-ever collaboration with the Grieg Society.

We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!
