Minnesota Orchestra Plays Elgar and Dvořák Nov. 19–20: Sasha Cooke Sings Sea Pictures
The Minnesota Orchestra performs at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, on November 19 at 11:00 a.m. and November 20 at 8:00 p.m., with mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke singing Elgar's song cycle Sea Pictures on a program that also features Dvořák.
Sea Pictures, Elgar's cycle of five songs for contralto voice and orchestra, is among the composer's best-known vocal works, each song evoking the sea in a different mood. Cooke, one of the leading American mezzo-sopranos on today's opera and concert stages, joins the orchestra for this performance.
Founded in 1903, the Minnesota Orchestra is one of America's major symphony orchestras. Its home, Orchestra Hall on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, is noted for its acoustics. Tickets are sold through the Minnesota Orchestra's official box office.
Orchestra Hall is located at 1111 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55403. The November 19 performance is a morning concert; the November 20 performance is in the evening.
