In partnership with Saint Paul Public Libraries, SPCM presents three performances featuring SPCM faculty at libraries throughout Saint Paul!

Enjoy music and celebrate North American and Eastern European culture with the Saint Paul Conservatory of Music.

Learn more about classical music with an opportunity to touch and explore the musical instruments after the performance. Stay for a meal following the performance.

This Music Mosaic concert is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
