The Minnesota Orchestra performed its first full-ensemble performance in Grand Rapids to a capacity audience of Middle and High School students at the Reif Center on Friday morning. Associate Conductor Courtney Lewis, silhouetted in the wings, led the American-themed program which began with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and closed with Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever.

Students hop off the bus Friday morning before the Young People's concert.
