Regional Spotlight™

The Dream Songs Project performs several works from a concert in St. Paul, Minn., this past January.

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet performs the ferocious Bartok Piano Sonata (Sz. 80) from a Frederic Chopin Society recital given February 16, 2014.

A performance of the Anton Arensky Piano Trio in D minor from a performance at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is in this week's Regional Spotlight.

Members of the Boston-based vocal ensemble Tapestry join Classical MPR's Michael Barone for a fun and casual conversation ahead of their concert on Saturday, March 15, in St. Cloud, Minn.

For Michael Barone, one day is not enough to celebrate the birthday of J.S. Bach. It's why he began the tradition of Before Bach's Birthday Bash. Read about what's in store for this year's festivities.

In a performance given earlier this season, the Jasper String Quartet performs a quartet by Haydn -- it's Haydn at his most rambunctious!

This week, we celebrate Minnesota's rich musical landscape with a recent performance recorded regionally each weekday at 10 a.m.

Flutist Jennifer Kennard performs a world premiere of a work written especially for her in a recent Thursday Musical performance from Bloomington, Minn.

She was her brother's inspiration and his harshest critic. Hear a sample of Fanny Mendelssohn's intricate and harmonically bold music, in honor of Women's History Month on Learning to Listen from Classical MPR.

Another fine performance from last summer's Alexandria Festival of the Lakes. Feel the warmth!
