"...the players...delivered a lively account of adroitly accented rhythms and glowing sentiments." --Star Tribune
Accolades such as this are commonplace for The Musical Offering. It is the oldest, continuously performing chamber music ensemble in the Twin Cities. For the past 26 years, it has given audiences the chance to experience chamber music the way it was meant to be heard, performed in an intimate, friendly atmosphere by professional musicians who play together for the sheer joy and satisfaction of music. The variety of instruments represented in the group allows it to present chamber music for rarely performed instrumental combinations, as well as featuring contemporary and newly commissioned music. |
