Photos: YourClassical MPR Happy Hour with The OK Factor

On Wednesday, YourClassical MPR hosted a free event at Surdyk’s Liquor & Cheese Shop in Minneapolis featuring classical music and complimentary tastings of wine and other beverages at multiple tasting stations.

YourClassical MPR host Vernon Neal set the mood with a curated soundtrack before duo The OK Factor gave a live performance consisting of original compositions and classic arrangements. Those in attendance appreciated the music provided by Neal and by cellist Olivia Diercks and violinist Karla Peters of The OK Factor; many guests spoke to Neal and to The OK Factor throughout the evening.
