Minnesota’s Ordinarily Unsung Concert is an award-winning song and story concert about unsung, unique, and unusual people in Minnesota history.
Based on true stories of real Minnesotans collected by nationally-acclaimed singer-songwriter, author, and storyteller Elisa Korenne, Minnesota’s Ordinarily Unsung Concert celebrates Minnesota’s 150+ years as a state.
Minnesota’s Ordinarily Unsung concerts are feasts for the ears and the soul. They inspire audiences with musical character studies and narratives that feature Elisa’s warm, rich voice, and they are interspersed with Elisa’s characteristic humor and love for audience participation.
This is an event you won’t want to miss.
