THREE BY THREE
Thursday-Saturday: Three clarinetists and three Finns crowd this week's Minnesota Orchestra concerts. Burt Hara, the orchestra's principal since 1987, and conductor Osmo Vänskä, who began his career as a clarinetist, join forces in a concerto by Vänskä's fellow Finn, composer/clarinetist Bernhard Crusell (1775-1838). And Vänskä leads the world premiere of "Minea" (a play on "Minneapolis") by Finnish compatriot Kalevi Aho. Glittery scores by Strauss and Stravinsky round out the program. (7:30 p.m. Thu., 8 p.m. Fri.-Sat. $26-$84. Orchestra Hall, 11th St. and Nicollet Mall, Mpls. 612-371-5656 or www.minnesotaorchestra.org.)
