"The Minnesota Orchestra’s five-city tour to South Africa in August 2018 was one of the most important musical and emotional experiences of my life. To feel, to see and to hear how the audiences celebrated with all of the performers deeply touched my heart. Another highlight of the trip was to see the young musicians of the South African National Youth Orchestra and the Cape Town Youth Philharmonic playing together with the Minnesota Orchestra musicians. I am sure that we all are going to remember the sound of those side-by-side rehearsals forever. I am incredibly grateful to Classical Movements for such a huge job to make this tour happen. All of the preparation–including the commissioning of a new work–to perform in sold-out concerts is indescribable. What an incredibly memorable trip…thank you, thank you, thank you!"
-Osmo Vänskä | Music Director, Minnesota Orchestra
