Cedar Cultural Center's MN Express
MN Express is a new program of The Cedar Cultural Center that will take five Minnesota artists on a one bus, five-city, ten-day tour around the state of Minnesota. The artists in the program's inaugural year are all former participants of The Cedar's 416 Club Commissions Program which is funded by the Jerome Foundation and designed to support the creation of new works by Minnesota's emerging artists. MN Express artists will build on their work created for their 416 Club Commissions and use each other as collaborators and musical support.
MN Express is modeled after the recently successful Africa Express in which 80 artists from across the globe including Damon Albarn, Amadou & Mariam, and Babaa Maal toured Britain by train, stopping in various communities to perform. Adrienne Dorn, The Cedar's Director of Development, sees MN Express as a way to expand The Cedar's mission beyond programming that takes place at The Cedar itself. "Because of the diversity of
the artists' work and the intentional way we are engaging new audiences, MN Express has the potential to be transformational for the artists and audiences alike and a great step forward for The Cedar as we continue to fulfill our mission in new and exciting ways."
The inaugural MN Express tour will feature new works by; vocalist/composer Aby Wolf, Bassist/composer Nick Gaudette, song-writer/composer Kyle Sobczak, fiddler/composer Sara Pajunen, and saxophonist/composer Nathan Hanson. The tour will run from October 9th-19th with evening performances in Austin, Grand Rapids, Duluth, Morris, and Northfield.
