Avi Avital live in Saint Paul

Experience Avi Avital live on May 28th

Avi Avital is scheduled to perform at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in Saint Paul, Minnesota on May 28, 2027. Avital is a highly regarded mandolin virtuoso known for expanding the instrument’s repertoire beyond its traditional folk origins. His performances and recordings frequently incorporate Baroque music transcribed for the mandolin, alongside contemporary compositions written specifically for him, and original arrangements demonstrating a broad range of musical influences including classical, jazz, and world music.

The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1985 and serves as a major performing arts venue in Saint Paul. Originally constructed as the Saint Paul Civic Center, it underwent significant renovations and a renaming to the Ordway Center in 1998 following a substantial gift from Sally Ordway Irvine. The venue hosts a diverse array of performances including Broadway shows, concerts, dance productions, and opera. It comprises a main hall with approximately 1,900 seats and a smaller McKnight Theatre for more intimate presentations. The Ordway is home to several resident companies including the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Minnesota Opera, contributing significantly to the region’s cultural landscape.
