Minnesota Orchestra Survives Historic 15-Month Lockout, Announces Shortened 2014 Concert Season (Feat. Osmo Vänskä)

A new era in the history of the Minnesota Orchestra will begin next month, when the reunited orchestra will present its first performances in Orchestra Hall after a long and often bitter contract dispute that dragged on for 15 months.

The orchestra recently announced its 2014 classical subscription season, which will begin on February 20 and run through July. Highlights include several Sibelius concerts led by former music director Osmo Vänskä

, as well as performances by violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Stephen Hough.

The season's official launch is preceded by two weeks of special homecoming concerts, February 7 through 15, led by the orchestra's conductor laureate Stanisław Skrowaczewski and longtime guest conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier.
