With a discerning ear and a come-as-you-are attitude, Minneapolis-Saint Paul is an unpretentious stronghold for classical music.
Minnesota Orchestra conductor Osmo Vänskä has earned raves for his incisive conducting and the orchestra's ravishing recordings of Beethoven's symphonies. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Opera and award-winning ensembles like VocalEssence offer visitors a broad range of classics and rarely heard pieces.
This musical activity creates a vibrant canvas for the city's burgeoning dance scene. Whether you're interested in the contemporary choreography of companies like Zenon and TU Dance, or the virtuosic technique of the James Sewell Ballet or Minnesota Dance Theatre, you're sure to find a style that moves you.
