David Bresch asked about "culture" in Saint Paul.
James Tobin and Tim Mahon correctly emphasized the Minnesota Orchestra
(www.mnorch.org) and the St Paul Chamber Orchestra (www.thespco.org).
But there are also many other music organizations of at least regional
and often national distinction.
In no particular order:
The Minnesota Opera (www.mnopera.org)
The Schubert Club (www.schubert.org) (not only for their
"International Artists" recital series, but also for their
fine gamelon ensemble and the musical instrument museum)
Dale Warland Singers (www.dalewarlandsingers.org)
Plymouth Music Series (www.plymouthmusic.org)
Lyra Concert (www.lyraconcert.org)
Chamber Music Society of Minnesota (www.chambermusicsocietymn.org)
