Tickets for the "Engine 408 Series" program to be presented at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra Center on Thursday and Saturday are selling fast and we expect these concerts to sell out VERY SOON. The SPCO Center is a smaller venue and this series has a strong and faithful crowd that is truly showing their interest. If you have not gotten your tickets yet, you may want to act quickly before you are not able to get any!
 
Tickets can be purchased here.
