Pride Concert: Open Spaces
2024-06-28 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral, 519 Oak Grove St, Minneapolis, MN, 55403, United States
Start Pride Weekend off on the right note with the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra, in partnership with St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral! On Friday, June 28, take the rainbow staircase across from Loring Park up to the cathedral for an evening of music.
MPO’s Pride concert Open Spaces evokes the unbound freedom of wide open spaces — from the homesteaders’ clearing of Aaron Copland’s ballet to the vast deserts of Alexander Borodin’s symphonic poem, from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s jubilant dance to the flight of monarchs in Andrew Yee’s Briefly Gorgeous, and from the heartfelt melodies of Diane Benjamin’s overture to the romping celebration of Beethoven’s symphonic finale.
While this is a no-cost event, please consider making a donation at checkout. Whether that is $5 or $35, your support enables us to share in the music together, and your generosity makes this important source of connection available to all.

An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife

Join the Walker Art Center for a free talk as part of the Nightlife as Form series!
An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife
Much of the history of queer nightlife remains unwritten. Historically, this heritage has been passed on through stories, memories, and the experience of being there. Seeking to document a small portion of the Twin Cities’ vast queer history, the second installment of the series Nightlife as Form, An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife, gathers several generations of local queer nightlife practitioners to share their inspirations, challenges, and learnings. From the 1990s Homocore movement to trans and queer punk spaces, as well as today’s nightlife practitioners, this evening celebrates and makes visible some of these too-often unwritten histories.
Following the panel, join us for a drink in the Main Lobby to celebrate local queer nightlife artists.
Panelists include Shannon Blowtorch, Siren DeLuna (Sci-Fi), Venus de Mars, All the Pretty Horses, and Ed Varga (Homocore Minneapolis and Homo A Go Go).
