Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace)
Word over all, beautiful as the sky, beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost, that the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again and ever again, this soiled world…
Walt Whitman
We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming concerts as we offer a poignant program dedicated to peace.

The orchestra will also perform the Midwest premiere of Weinberg’s Fantasia for Cello and Orchestra, a piece written in response to World War II, featuring MN Orchestra principal cellist Anthony Ross. Performances are FREE and open to the public! No ticket required, donations gratefully accepted.
