Spoon Gathering -SOLD OUT-
Sitting in the sun on the spacious front porch of a 1915 school house meticulously restored in the traditional Norwegian style, or sitting outside in the evening around a roaring fire – always among friends. That is one way to describe the annual gathering of the spoon carvers each June in Milan.

The 39th annual Spicer WinterFest is almost here. There are lots of great events planned between January 20th – February 11th, 2024, including the WinterFest family fun day and fireworks, the 5th annual WinterFest Dance featuring Fat City All-Stars, and so much more.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of solid ice on Green Lake, there won't be an ice castle this year. Other events cancelled due to lack of ice: Central MN Pond Racing, Spicer Speed Run, and the Ice Carving Contest.

Speculative Bodies
Today we live multiple lives both online and in real life, with elastic identities that are seemingly boundless, open to fluid representation and constant reinterpretation via technology. Can the same be said of our physical bodies? Despite technology’s ever-quickening pace, we are still inextricably bound to the flesh-and-blood of the human body that we as a species have inhabited for thousands of years.

SPCO at Icehouse
The SPCO brings core chamber music repertoire to Icehouse’s modern industrial chic space, a Twin Cities musical hot spot that hosts a wide variety of music. Mozart’s trio was written while the clarinet was still a relatively new instrument and was first performed by his friend, the early clarinet pioneer Anton Stadler.
