We are pleased to share with you our 139th season, featuring the International Artist Series at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts and the Music in the Park Series at Saint Anthony Park United Church of Christ.
We are also excited to introduce our second annual Featured Artist of the Season, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson.
During the upcoming season, Ólafsson will appear on the International Artist Series and the yet-to-be-announced Schubert Club Mix series, and will participate in community engagement activities during the season.
“Having a Featured Artist each season gives Schubert Club patrons the chance to see multiple facets of a musician over a short time span,” says Barry Kempton, Schubert Club’s Artistic and Executive Director. “In his brief career, Víkingur Ólafsson has already demonstrated an ability to give spell-binding performances of music of diverse eras and styles. I’ve been fortunate to have experienced that ability live several times, and I’m thrilled he will be on our stages next season.”
Subscriptions to both the International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series are on sale starting Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 10:00 am.
