Overview

In a wonderful evening of storytelling, laughter, and plenty of music, Garrison Keillor is joined by The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, led by Philip Brunelle and accompanied by Richard Dworsky.

“Philip and I have performed together with a long list of great orchestras, among them the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony. After years on the road, we brought the show home to St. Paul and the phenomenal Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The Fitzgerald audience was treated to favorites like Homage to the Aunts, Lake Wobegon Hymn, Seven Love Sonnets, Habanera, Song of the Exiles, and much more. The Saint Paul Chamber is the first orchestra I ever heard, when I was a freshman at the U, and now that I'm winding up my modest orchestral career, I'd like to wind it up at home with the hometown band.” -Garrison Keillor

“A small but choice treat for PHC fans.”

JUNE 2012 - AudioFile

Keillor, backed by the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, is featured at Minnesota Public Radio’s Fitzgerald Theater with an hour-plus of songs and pieces infused with music (such as a Guy Noir piece with Milhaud’s “Le Boeuf sur le Toit” for atmosphere). Selections run the Prairie Home Companion gamut from humor (some even a bit racy) to sentiment to nostalgia, much of it amusing or touching. Keillor’s performance is both easy and polished. His singing . . . well, it’s best on the funny pieces. He can carry a tune, though not very far. The music is well used and well recorded and makes up a vivid part of the program without distracting the listener or overwhelming the star. This is a small but choice treat for PHC fans.
