“Guest artists and local soloists and ensembles are brought in to perform at the concerts to make each concert unique and entertaining. Often times the special guest artists are made available for presentation of hands-on music education workshops in local schools while they are visiting the area. These music clinics are presented free to the schools and the students who attend them. All concerts are free for youth through high school age. During this season, students from the st francis concert orchestra, soprano jennifer olson, university of minnesota-morris orchestra, pianist kate bae, just for kix dancers, and brainerd high school orchestra were all featured guests. The winners of the 2019 youth concerto competition winners performed at the spring concert. The orchestra hosts a youth competition every other year. The audition rewards young musicians with the opportunity to perform with the orchestra, a recording of their performance, and a 500 award. There were two recipients of the award in 2019.”
