This weekend, the fall season looks back and ahead in time for two excellent Minnesotan choral groups.
VocalEssence opens its 56th season by returning to its 1996 U.S. premiere of Kristina Från Duvemåla, a musical composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the Swedish pop group ABBA. It tells the story of a family of Swedes who found their way to Minnesota territory in the mid-18th century.
In Rochester, the Choral Arts Ensemble celebrates its 40th anniversary season with new artistic director Ryan Deignan and a fresh new program evoking life as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of a child.
