Schubert Club unveils new season of 'Courtroom Concerts'

The Schubert Club is going to court, again.

The classical music museum and presenter is bringing back its Courtroom Concert Series at the Landmark Center beginning on Oct. 3. The run of 23 free concerts continues through May 8, 2025.

The hour-long lunchtime concerts will take place most Thursdays, with the majority held in Courtroom 317. A few others happening in the Landmark Center's first floor Cortile. A separate series of four lunchtime concerts will take place on select Fridays in Westminster Hall at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis .

The schedule is highlighted by a program of Dominick Argento's 1975 song cycle "From the Diary of Virginia Woolf," a three-concert run of Mozart quartets from the Artaria String Quartet, a performance of Minnesota premieres featuring mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski, and the annual "Songs of the Season" concert that features carols from local composers, performed twice in December.
