Mary Louise Knutson live in Minneapolis

Experience Mary Louise Knutson live on August 14th

Mary Louise Knutson will perform a concert on August 14, 2026, at the Berlin venue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Knutson is a composer and performer specializing in experimental vocal music, often incorporating extended vocal techniques, improvisation, and electronic processing. Her work frequently explores themes of landscape, memory, and the human voice as a textural element. She has released several albums on independent labels and collaborated with numerous artists across various genres.

The Berlin is a long-standing performance space located in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. Originally constructed in 1910 as a pump station for the city’s water supply, it was later repurposed and opened as an arts venue in 1988. The building’s industrial architecture – featuring high ceilings, exposed brick, and concrete floors – contributes to its distinctive atmosphere. It hosts a diverse range of performances including music (spanning genres like rock, jazz, experimental, and classical), dance, theater and visual art exhibitions. The Berlin is known for supporting local and emerging artists alongside nationally recognized acts and has become an integral part of Minneapolis' vibrant arts scene.
