The Duluth Civic Orchestra (DCO) presents Pièce de Résistance: Symphonic Works of Protest — a free concert featuring five works written in defiance. A symphony broadcast at enemy lines during the Nazi siege of Leningrad. A suffragette anthem conducted from prison with a toothbrush. A banned dance smuggled into a concert hall. Music that refused to be silenced. The DCO is a community orchestra of more than 50 musicians of all ages and backgrounds. We’ve been bringing free concerts to Duluth since the 1980s — because we believe live orchestral music belongs to everyone. Join us May 26 at 6:30pm at Lincoln Park Middle School. Free admission, all are welcome!
Eldest Daughter is an up and coming indie rock project, fronted by Monica Merila. Featuring a strong female vocal lead and powerful lyrics backed up catchy melodies, fans of Alanis Morisette and the 90’s/early 2000’s alternative scene will feel right at home. Bad weather? We’ll move the music indoors!

We’re bringing music to The Yard! The Gemstones are Duluth’s funktastic soul/rock band hitting you hard in the groove bone – the kind of band your mom wishes she grew up listening to. Whether it be Courtney Ellian’s smooth and sultry vocals or keys playing, Manny Eisele loving the low-end on bass/vocals, Josh Nickila’s vintage sound on guitar/vocals, or Ian Hopp’s “madman on funkahol” drumming/vocals; this is a powerhouse of soundscapes and all-around funk/rock sex-suasion – musically. If the weather gets bad we’ll move the music indoors! No Cover | All Ages | Family Friendly
