Eight major Minnesota Arts organizations will come together in an unprecedented event October 8th to memorialize the victims of the September 11th attacks. The Minnesota Orchestra and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra will perform as a single ensemble in a rare sharing of the stage. They will be joined by singers from the Minnesota Chorale, the Dale Warland Singers, the Minnesota Opera and the Plymouth Music Series. An actor from the Guthrie Theater will narrate part of the program and the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts will also participate. Minnesota Orchestra General Manager Bob New says the performance is also aimed at helping the local community deal with the terrible events.
