Winona welcomes world renowned artists
The Minnesota Beethoven Festival is an annual, three-week classical music festival in Winona, presenting nationally and internationally recognized artists in performance each summer.
Since 2007, the Minnesota Beethoven Festival has celebrated the music and legacy of Ludwig van Beethoven, in an unequaled environment of performance, discovery, and community, nestled in the quaint bluffs of southeast Minnesota.
Masters like Yo-Yo Ma, the Vienna Boys Choir and the Minnesota Orchestra have all paid homage to Beethoven in this premiere festival, which transforms Winona into a classical music Mecca each summer.

The Minnesota Beethoven Festival returns in 2024 for their seventeenth season, presenting a full concert schedule of internationally acclaimed classical artists. The season opens on June 30, 2024 with celebrated cellist Steven Isserlis, and concludes on July 21, 2024 with the Minnesota Orchestra. Festival favorite Joshua Bell returns on July 16, and the beloved Lake Park Pops concert will be held on July 13. All other artists are new to the Festival this season, including rising stars Zee Zee, Paul Huang, and the Esmé Quartet.
“The Minnesota Beethoven Festival continues to bring the best and most innovative classical musicians to Winona every summer,” says Artistic & Managing Director Ned Kirk. “We are delighted to introduce our audiences to a wide range of artists this season, including the genre-defying ensemble Time for Three, renowned pianist and educator Awadagin Pratt, among many others.”
