Little Orchestra Comes To The Big City

The Minnesota-based St. Paul Chamber Orchestra will mount a 3-week residency in Chicago’s Hyde Park next season, in what the ensemble hopes will be the beginning of a new touring tradition. “The residency will consist of three concerts, a family-oriented program, music education activities in local public elementary schools and a series of master classes, composition readings and chamber music coaching for university students. It will be spread over separate weeks and a weekend in fall, winter and spring.”
