Additional series include the Music in the Park Series, which presents chamber music in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood, a free weekly lunchtime Courtroom Concert series at the Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul, and Accordo, the beloved chamber ensemble made up of current and former musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra and the SPCO.

The newly renovated Schubert Club Music Museum holds a world-class collection comprised of over 100 historic keyboards, hundreds of instruments from around the world and letters and manuscripts of over 100 famous composers. Admission is free and open to the public serving thousands of visitors and student groups annually.

What a night! One week ago, a nearly sold-out Accordo with Silent Film at the Ordway brought the magic of live music and classic cinema together in unforgettable style. The musicians of Accordo, joined by guest pianist Stephen Prutsman, performed original live scores for Charlie Chaplin’s "One A.M.," Buster Keaton’s "Steamboat Bill Jr.," and "Léontine's Boat." Special thanks to composers Stephen Prutsman and Meg Morley, and presenter Maggie Hennefeld.

“I’m astonished that people seem to think that Chaplin invented silent comedy,” remarks Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, silent film curator at the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam. “By the time [Chaplin] started in 1914, many others [including women] already had their own comic series.”

In an article for the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB), Maggie Hennefeld explores the world of forgotten silent film actresses and characters including Léontine, who will be featured on Tuesday's Accordo with Silent Film program! Read more at the link below:

Master of early music Jordi Savall brought the International Artist Series to a close on April 16 at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts with a program that spanned seven centuries of music. Joined by his ensemble Hespèrion XXI, La Capella Reial de Catalunya—the renowned Catalan royal chapel choir—and a circle of guest artists, the evening wove together a rich tapestry of styles, stories, and traditions.

Season tickets for the 2026-2027 International Artist Series are now on sale - the season kicks off on October 23 with the awe-inspiring Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen. We hope to see you there!

Baritone Roderick Williams concluded his 2025–2026 Featured Artist residency on Friday with an intimate, in-the-round recital at Westminster Hall, alongside pianist Christopher Glynn. Moving among the audience, Williams broke down barriers and created a genuine sense of connection, inviting listeners to take part in a shared musical experience that unfolded with warmth and immediacy.

On Wednesday evening, Accordo and Roderick Williams OBE captivated concert-goers with Franz Schubert's “Die schöne Müllerin.” Williams arranged the Schubert work for voice and string quartet, but surprised the audience by singing the song cycle in English instead of German like his Monday Accordo performance.

Many thanks to Roderick Williams OBE, Accordo, and Icehouse for an enriching experience!

For tomorrow night's Recital in the Round with baritone Roderick Williams OBE and pianist Christopher Glynn, Williams explains that he used Franz Schubert's Winterreise as structure and inspiration for finding twenty-four English song equivalents.

Tickets are still available for tomorrow evening's Schubert Club Mix Series performance at Westminster Hall at 7:30 PM. Check out schubert.org or call our box office at 651-292-3268 to secure your seats!

Our Courtroom Concert series continues tomorrow at noon with the return of piano duo Julia and Irina Elkina in the Cortile of Landmark Center. Their program will include works by J.S. Bach, Benjamin Britten, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.

Fun fact: J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565, which will be a featured piece at tomorrow's concert, has a very storied history with film as far back as silent films. Despite being often referenced with The Phantom of the Opera, the work was also featured in popular films like Sunset Boulevard, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and La Dolce Vita. Italian composer Ennio Morricone took inspiration from the piece to create the film score for Sergio Leone's 1965 film For a Few Dollars More.
