About the Series
Shortly after the Museum opened in the current building, it was discovered that the expansive galleries were glorious for chamber music. Subsequently, the Museum Concert Series was born, and musicians from around the world were invited to perform against the backdrop of contemporary art. This Sunday afternoon tradition has continued for over thirty years and with the support of the community will thrive for generations to come.
Camerata Nordica, October 19, 2025
Founded in 1974, Camerata Nordica are the eight principal musicians of Sweden’s leading chamber orchestra. The ensemble has gained a reputation for its distinctive performance style, captivating audiences by performing standing up and occasionally by heart—as in the Mendelssohn Octet, which will be the featured work on the Camerata Nordica Octet's appearance at the North Dakota Museum of Art at our season's gala opening.
“...absolutely phenomenal – what a pleasure to hear them. They are intense, extraordinary musicians..."

Trio Bohémo, November 9, 2025
Trio Bohémo from the Czech Republic has been dazzling audiences across Europe and the Americas since their formation in 2019 in Budapest. Members include pianist Jan Vojtek, violinist Matouš Pěruška, and cellist Kristina Vocetková. Their artistic successes include competitions and performances in London, Vilnius, Weimar and Vienna. The reviewer at their Wigmore Hall Debut wrote: "Trio Bohémo were on fire. The connection between the musicians was symbiotic. They played, danced, sweated and smiled in total synchronicity. There was an element of wilderness, a sublime feral, ritualistic ecstasy... "
“They are the music that this world needs.” — Wigmore Hall Debut

[flute and guitar duos]." —THE NEW YORKER
Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies, May 3, 2026
The Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies is an exciting and unusual ensemble of musicians and composers who combine instruments from the past and present as well as ritual theater, masks and dance. Members of the ensemble are former students of the award-winning conductor/composer Alejandro Iglesias Rossi, who founded OIANT in Argentina in 2000 to combine the unique sounds of native instruments of the Americas with European instruments and modern digital technology.
All the musicians have built their musical instruments after researching their histories, based, in many cases, on models recovered from archaeological sites. The repertoire includes both traditional folk music and new compositions designed to explore sounds that come from combining technologies of the past and the present.
"Shamanic Sounds and Crazy Tone Clusters ... feels like you have traveled back 1,000 years and you are in a strange ceremony celebrating the connections of the culture with the Earth."
—THE NEW YORK TIMES
