Since 1995, Café Accordion Orchestra has delighted audiences in New York's Lincoln Center, Vienna, the Minnesota State Fair, and other venues.

March 25: The Barley Jacks with Brian Wicklund, an acoustic bluegrass group, will perform a concert in Lips Atrium. These Minnesota-based masters of fiddle, guitar, bass and drum sing original vocals and play exciting instrumentals with musical influences from blues and bluegrass, classical and Celtic, and R&B and bebop.
Sponsored by Mayo Clinic Center for Humanities in Medicine, the Rosemary and Meredith Willson Harmony for Mayo Program is coordinated by Choral Arts Ensemble of Rochester. The series is generously funded by the late Rosemary Willson in memory of her husband, Meredith Willson, who wrote the Broadway musical "The Music Man."
