Join us for a recap of the St. Paul Conservatory of Music's Minnesota Southwest String Fest! This amazing event, held on April 27th, 2024, from 10 AM to 6 PM at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN, was a day filled with masterclasses, orchestra sessions, and more for string players ages 13-18. The highlight of the day was a side-by-side concert with the Southwest Minnesota Orchestra, showcasing the talent and hard work of these young musicians.
The festival was FREE and open to all middle and high school string students from Minnesota and Southeastern South Dakota. The video features incredible performances by Son de Cuerdas, a bilingual ensemble dedicated to engaging Spanish-speaking communities in the Twin Cities; renowned violinist Risa Schuchter from Vienna, Austria; and Dan Rieppel, Conductor of the Southwest Minnesota Orchestra and SMSU.
This event was made possible through a partnership between The Saint Paul Conservatory of Music (SPCM), The Southwest Minnesota Orchestra, and Southwest Minnesota State University. Additionally, this activity was funded by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Hund. It was also supported by Music Across Minnesota, a grant funded by the Minnesota Department of Health and carried out by the St. Paul Conservatory of Music. This program aims to improve student social-emotional health, enhance musical arts awareness, boost school engagement, and increase community vitality through music for students from rural communities and/or Title 1 schools across Minnesota.
Special thanks to Audrey Favorito and her colleague, Pat, for their invaluable contributions to making this event a success.
Don't miss the inspiring performances and the vibrant energy of this unforgettable event!
