Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra
Orchestra
The Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra (CVRO) was founded in 1979 by conductor Paul Niemisto as a program of the Northfield Arts Guild. CVRO is a diverse group of volunteer musicians performing symphonic music, drawn together by our love of rehearsing and performing this fine repertoire. Anyone with talent, experience, and motivation is welcome to join us, from exceptional twelve-year-olds to octogenarians. CVRO players come from twenty-two communities: Apple Valley, Blaine, Bloomington, Cannon Falls, Dundas, Eagan, Faribault, Farmington, Lake City, Lonsdale, Montgomery, Nerstrand, New Prague, Northfield, Owatonna, Prior Lake, Red Wing, St. Paul, Stanton, Warsaw, Webster, West Concord.
Concert sponsor: RWC Tech Solutions
Concerts begin at 7 pm / Food Trucks open at 6 pm
Every Wednesday June 3 - August 26, 2026
Concerts begin promptly at 7 pm, with food trucks opening at 6pm. These vibrant and energetic performances will take place in Central Park - the heart of our historic downtown, where the city's “living room” comes alive. Each year Red Wing Arts curates a diverse selection of regional bands, offering a wide range of musical genres to cater to varied tastes. Parking is allowed during the concert on both sides of East and West Avenues between 4th & 5th Streets.
Families and friends are encouraged to bring their chairs and coolers to enjoy these free live music events suitable for all ages. All are welcome!
Red Wing Arts thanks our community for their continued support - these events would not be possible without the collaboration and sponsorship of local businesses and foundations. Join us this summer as we celebrate the power of music, community, and creativity. Let's create unforgettable memories together!
