Salon Se Lève

Since 1999, this monthly performance series presents, supports and encourages Minnesota’s most gifted emerging young artists, utilizing the 19th century ambiance of a salon concert. Pre-college musicians are chosen to perform in this series after winning a major regional, national or international competition in the previous school year. These recitals are presented by the Wirth Center for the Performing Arts, in partnership with Salon se Lève’s Volunteer Council/Contributing Membership and the Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in Downtown, Minneapolis.  As has been our tradition, all concerts (except the Benefit Concert) are free and open to the public. The program is funded through generous donations of its contributing members.

2021-2022 Concert Season – On Hold

As our unique concerts feature an audience of all ages, followed by a convivial reception with food served and personal connection with our young artists, we regret to put the 2021-2022 Concert Season on hold due to the ongoing health risk of Covid. Please check back in 2022 to see if we can resume this encouraging and inspirational series.  As soon as it is safe for all involved, Salon se Lève
will resume our 20 year tradition of “renewing the salon concert to encourage emerging young artists!”  
 
Thank you,  
The Salon se Lève Volunteer Council

 

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 these 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 encourage Minnesota’s own emerging young artists in the 2019-2020 season:
