Sondergard and the Mn Orch

For years we’ve subscribed to short season (usually 6 concerts) of the Minnesota Orchestra, a magnificent band!

This mornings Minneapolis Star Tribune, page one, featured the debut of a new conductor.  As the review in the Variety section headlines: “Thomas Sondergard makes an epic debut”.

Here’s the front page photo:

On page two of the link, note the highlighted section at the bottom of the page.  Wherever you are, you can listen, live, to the full performance tonight, 8 p.m. CDT.  You’ll be glad you did.

Also in this program book is an article about Sondergard in his own words; and an interview with the featured Oboe soloist Nathan Hughes. Sondergard:Hughes Mn Orch Prog Sep 21 2023 

NOTE: In the photo, had Sondergard looked to his left, he’d have caught us, four rows back.  Fame is elusive….
