The Minnesota Orchestra and the South Dakota Symphony were honored for their programming efforts at the annual American Symphony Orchestra League conference. Each year at the gathering, ASCAP--the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers--recognizes orchestras for their "adventurous programming" in various categories.
For the third year in a row, the Minnesota Orchestra earned the Leonard Bernstein Award for Educational Programming.
For Programming of Contemporary Music, the South Dakota Symphony took third place among orchestras with operating expenses between $470,000 and $1.8 million. Last year it placed second.
