Event Program
Welcome to “An Evening with the Minnesota Orchestra”. This free public concert will take place in the Excelsior Commons Pavilion. On behalf of the Fanfare for The Commons Board and Committee and our fantastic sponsors, we appreciate your interest and your attendance. Definitely invite your family, neighbors and friends. We especially encourage children of all ages and musical interests to experience the magnificent sights and sounds that emanate from the 70+ exceptional musicians on stage.
Wine, beer and cider will be sold by Coalition Excelsior and Small Lot Wine. Bottled water, sodas and boxed dinners from our local restaurants (while supplies last) may be purchased as well. We’ll announce our Boxed Dinner Partners in the coming weeks and give you an opportunity to pre-order your dinner(s). We’ll have a Boxed Dinner Pick-up Tent at the Commons site.
Bring your lawn chairs, beach blankets, picnic food and your ears.
The fun starts popping at 5:00 PM
