Riverside Concerts has earned an outstanding reputation for providing southeast Minnesota with accessible, world class musical events such as Down by the Riverside and Riverside Live!. While these concerts are offered to the public at little or no charge, it takes a great deal of resources to make these events happen. None of these musical opportunities would be possible without your support. Please join us in our musical endeavors by making a tax-deductible donation to Riverside Concerts.
Last season Riverside Concerts served over 60,000 concertgoers and 250 musicians with such programs as the Classic Rock group the Herman’s Hermits starring Pete Noone, Blues man Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, the Grammy winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer, and Country & Western star Junior Brown. Riverside Concerts reaches over 4,000 young people each year with its annual Youth Concert, featuring the Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra and Honors Choir of Southeastern Minnesota. The Artist-In-the-Schools residency program brings world-renowned artists directly to our young people while at school. Riverside Concerts celebrates the local musician through our community ensembles: the Concert Band and Concert Choir, both under the direction of Charles Blattner, as well as the Community Band, Woodwind Quintet and Swing Street Jazz Ensemble.
Riverside Concerts is a non-profit City government agency that relies on support from its constituents to help facilitate such community-enriching programs as Down by the Riverside, Riverside Live!, the annual Youth Concerts and the Artist-In-the-Schools residency program. Your support and enthusiasm for Riverside Concerts and its programs are vital to sustaining them in the future. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
