ENDING WITH A BANG
Thursday-Friday: The world may end in a whimper, but not the Minnesota Orchestra's Crash! Bang! Boom! Percussion Festival. James MacMillan's "Veni, Veni, Emmanuel," with Scottish percussionist Colin Currie, draws from 15th-century French plainsong and calls for 18 percussion instruments. Osmo Vänskä will lead Sibelius' Symphony No. 6 and a reprise of "These Worlds in Us" by Missy Mazzoli, an alumna of the orchestra's 2006 Composer Institute. (11 a.m. Thu., 8 p.m. Fri. $21-$83. Orchestra Hall, 11th St. and Nicollet Mall, Mpls. 612-371-5656 or www.minnesotaorchestra.org.)
