Minnesota Orchestra Presents “Gather at the River” with Eric Whitacre

The Minnesota Chorale has been hard at work preparing for this week’s concerts with the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Eric Whitacre. The concerts are Thursday April 10th at 7:30 and Friday April 11th at 8:00, both at Orchestra Hall.

Tickets: It is always worth checking. Student rush may be available.

Online streaming: MPR will broadcast Friday’s concert live on Classical MPR. I believe this will be available both on radio and live streaming. Check your local listings. The broadcast will begin at 8:00, Friday April 11.

Don’t know who Eric Whitacre is? This video is a great example of Whitacre’s work – both of his early compositional style (Waternight is one of his most famous pieces) and of his viral virtual choirs.
