Other Country Ensemble

This week at the Lake Harriet Bandshell we are hosting Other Country Ensemble, an international music group. OCE features veteran musicians from the Twin Cities, performing traditional music from the northern Mediterranean region ranging from Spanish Sephardic to Greek and Turkish music, and original compositions inspired by the regions. We tell tales of the history of the music from 600 A.D on and the fusion of sounds that spread through the Mediterranean, as well as the instruments we perform.
We host a World Music Night series at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater every second Wednesday of the month in 2026.
We perform at festivals and theaters including the Walker Ethnic Festival, Big River Theatre in Alma, WI, Top Hat Theatre in Ulen, St Mane in Lanesboro, and Art in Motion (Holdingford), Lake Harriet Bandshell, and the MN State Fair (International Bazaar Stage and regularly at the MN Wine Country). For cancellations due to weather please check our Facebook page for updates.
Since 1892, Music in the Parks has provided residents and families opportunities to gather and enjoy local music throughout the summer. Since its inception thousands of free concerts have taken place. Concerts are weekly and vary from classic rock, hip hop, international, funk and many more genres of music.
