Winter Series

Outside the busy summer season, LAMF presents concerts featuring duo recitals and small ensembles of your favorite LAMF musicians. October through April LAMF presents four programs, both in Brainerd and as Artists in Residence at the elegant Woman's Club of Minneapolis, overlooking Loring Park.
