The Minnesota Orchestra was founded in 1903 and has built up an impeccable international reputation over the years. They have cemented that reputation by traveling around the world, playing in countries such as Capetown, South Africa; Havana, Cuba; and Tokyo, Japan. They perform in the highly-acclaimed Orchestra Hall, which is a LEED-certified facility. The Minnesota Orchestra performs many of the classics, some not as well-known as other. Some of the composers they have featured are Mahler, Grieg, Sibelius, and in an attempt to be more inclusive of women, Florence Price. They also have the Minnesota Orchestra Composer Institute, a highly-competitive professional training program that people have to apply to and be accepted for.
