The Minnesota Orchestra has changed the program for its weekend concerts, which are conducted by Fabien Gabel. Instead of performing Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, they will play the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 to mourn the two people who were brutally killed by Trump’s ICE commando troops.

The program brochure says: « In light of the circumstances in our community right now, tonight’s program will open with the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, instead of Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. We offer it in memorial for Alex Pretti and Renee Good—and we share it with love for our audience and our beautiful city on a program that explores the resilience of finding ‘songs to sing’ amidst tragedy and seeking hope in darkness. »
