Plan to arrive at the ramp or lot at least 30 minutes before performance time to avoid delay. \nBelow is a list of nearby parking ramps. Please note\, parking fees vary by ramp. Click to view a Minneapolis Convention Center parking map. \nConvention Center Ramp (above ground parking) – 3rd Avenue South (RECOMMENDED) \nThis ramp is nearest to the Auditorium performance venue; however\, the ramp is not skyway accessible and there is no drop-off available at the East entrance to the Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC). To get to the Auditorium\, walk across 3rd Avenue South and use the outside entrance to the MCC. \nPlaza Municipal Ramp (underground parking) – 2nd Avenue & 12th Street \nThis ramp is nearest to the main entrance and drop-off area of the MCC. Exit the ramp and cross Grant Street directly to the MCC main entrance. The Auditorium performance venue is just a short walk from the entrance– proceed straight ahead as you enter the building. The ramp is skyway accessible; however\, please note the skyway route does require additional walk time. \n  \n                 \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS\n \n

SUMMARY:CONCERT: Four Saints in Three Acts
DESCRIPTION:Called “ebullient\, grand and unusual” and “a high camp masterpiece” by critics\, Four Saints in Three Acts changed American opera when it premiered in 1934. Set in 16th-century Spain\, the playfully humorous Four Saints traces the lives of saints on Earth through a witty libretto by Gertrude Stein and a stunning score by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Virgil Thomson. Collaborating with director/choreographer Carl Flink and his award-winning Black Label Movement\, VocalEssence takes up the challenge of this path-breaking and distinctly American opera to re-imagine it for the Goodale Theater in the Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts. This wildly inventive masterwork will leave you with a smile on your face. \nVocalEssence Ensemble Singers\nBlack Label Movement\nPhilip Brunelle\, conductor\nCarl Flink\, director/choreographer\nPaul Herwig\, set designer\nMarcus Dilliard\, lighting designer \nA fee of $4.00 per ticket is included in listed prices. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdXWDz7J6F4&feature=youtu.be \nConcert Program Book\n \nSponsors
