Water Music: Adagio for Strings

The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is excited to continue our partnership with the Winona Symphony Orchestra to bring you the third season of Water Music: Chamber Concerts at the MMAM.

The first collaborative concert of the Water Music season will entertain with elation and elegance. Paired with a new museum exhibition titled A Nation Takes Place, musicians from the Apollo Music Festival in Houston, MN, will present a program that takes the audience through a complex and nuanced history of the United States. Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, arriving with the genesis of World War II and the eve of the Great Depression, coupled with an exhibit that explores the role of water and race in the rise of the country, invites the audience to examine a larger frame to experience the connection between art and history.
