Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra live in Saint Paul

Experience Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra live on November 13th

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra will perform at the Ordway Concert Hall in Saint Paul, Minnesota on November 13, 2026. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is recognized internationally for its artistic integrity and innovative programming, performing primarily without a conductor since 1994. Its repertoire spans three centuries, encompassing Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works; the ensemble is particularly known for its interpretations of composers like Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert alongside newer compositions.

The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, home to this concert, opened in 1985 and underwent a substantial renovation and expansion completed in 2017. Originally conceived as a venue for touring Broadway productions and large-scale performances, the Ordway also serves as the primary performance space for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and other resident companies including Minnesota Opera and the Saint Paul Ballet. The hall’s acoustics were significantly improved during the 2017 refurbishment to better accommodate a wider range of musical genres. Its design incorporates elements reflecting Saint Paul’s architectural heritage and provides a prominent cultural hub within the city's downtown area. The building itself is located along Rice Park offering views of Landmark Center.
