Just what is the Musical Offering?
Since 1971, the Musical Offering has offered a unique experience of chamber music:
- Keyboard, woodwinds & strings together
- A variety of chamber music pieces, some of which are rarely if ever played hereabouts
- Excellent professional musicians
Our first-class musicians, from the Minnesota Orchestra and other venues, present an outstanding selection of chamber music, both rare and familiar pieces, from the 18th through the 21st century chamber music repertoire.
What was new in 2009–2010?
Our 2009–2010 39th season, just finished, combined the swooning and the soulful … the romantic and the intellectually rigorous in our usual program of four concerts from October to May.
The past season’s concerts boasted a new intermission feature in which individual musicians chatted about the music with Master of Ceremonies Silvester Vicic, the director of Sundin Music Hall. We also boasted two guest appearances by Bill Eddins, who’s been called “A distinguished and versatile pianist [with] a captivating energy and magnetic stage presence.” Silvester and Bill will be back for more next season.
What’s coming up for 2010–2011?
Rumor has it that “the immortal Ludwig Van” (Beethoven) will be featured on all four programs next year. The name of Mozart, too, has been bruited about. Stay tuned for further developments.
The program will be finalized and published, here and in print, near the end of this summer of 2010.
