About the Minnesota Orchestra Partnership
The Minnesota Orchestra welcomed Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä in the fall of 2003 as he took the podium as the ensemble's 10th music director. Praised for his intense and dynamic performances, Vänskä is recognized for compelling interpretations of the standard, contemporary, and Nordic repertoires, as well as the close rapport he establishes with the musicians he leads. During his tenure, he has drawn extraordinary reviews for concerts both at home and abroad—including a two-concert appearance at Carnegie Hall in 2007, a Lincoln Center engagement in 2008, highly acclaimed European tours in 2004 and 2006 and Minnesota tours in 2005, 2007 and 2008. Vänskä has extended his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra through 2011.

The Minnesota Orchestra 2008-09 season runs from September 18, 2008 – June 13, 2009.
