2011–2012 Local Artists Series

In addition to our exciting Sundin Hall concert series, and the many free workshops and masterclasses the visiting artists will be conducting, we offer our Local Artists Series, at locations throughout the metro area. All concerts will be on Sunday afternoons at 2 pm, and this year none will conflict with other MGS activities, especially OpenStage- or Sundin-related events!

This annual series features emerging artists, and artists who deserve to be more widely known. We’re partnering this year with Dreamland Arts in St. Paul, and the Woodbury Parks and Recreation Department to present the following very special performances.

All concerts are Sundays at 2 pm.
