The Southwest Minnesota Orchestra in concert

The Southwest Minnesota Orchestra, with Music Director Dr. Daniel Rieppel, will present an afternoon of Russian Chamber music on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 4:00 pm in the SMSU Fine Arts Theatre in Marshall, Minn.

The chamber music concert will feature SMSU Professor of Music Dr. Daniel Rieppel (piano), Nina Tso-Ning Fan (violin) of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and Jane Cords-O'Hara (cello) of the Knights Ensemble of New York City. The music selections will pair lyrical German Romanticism with classic Russian masterworks, featuring pieces by Glière, Rachmaninoff, and Arensky.

The selections will include:

8 Pieces for Violin and Cello, Op.39 by Reinhold Glière

Vocalise for Piano Trio by Sergei Rachmaninov

Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 32 by Anton Arensky

This activity was brought to the community through a local organization grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council (SMAC), made possible via a legislative appropriation from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

This concert is free and open to the public. Learn more at: https://www.southwestminnesotaorchestra.org/
