In this 24-25 season, the Minnesota Orchestra celebrates 50 years at Orchestra Hall. Music Director Stanislaw Skrowaczewski’s vision for the Orchestra, known then as the Minneapolis Symphony, was to have its own home with superb acoustics. The iconic hall with its signature cubes is a beacon in downtown Minneapolis and is known by the world class artists and guest conductors who have performed here. The Minnesota Orchestra has evolved under the leadership of its music directors and through the brilliant musicians who have graced the stage.
