Salon se Lève

Yes, we are back!!  Hear the world’s greatest music played by some of Minnesota’s finest young artists in a setting as it was first meant to be heard … the “salon!” 

The Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, in partnership with the Wirth Center for the Performing Arts and the Salon se Lève Contributing Members are proud to present four recitals, featuring our amazing young regional artists in an intimate venue – reminiscent of old-world salons. 

Offered in the Art Gallery at HAUMC, this “up-close-and-personal” setting brings the music and performers directly to the audience, stirring hearts and arousing emotions and imaginations as only a true salon atmosphere can! 

Join us for these exciting Sunday afternoon concerts as we return after covid to encourage Minnesota’s own emerging young artists in the 2024-2025 season.
