When was the last time you attended the symphony?

Spend Saturday evening, April 17, 2010, in Duluth, soaking up the music of Vivaldi, Debussy and Elgar. The first takes you on an uplifting romp through The Four Seasons; Debussy counters with his colorful Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun; finally, Elgar treats his audience to the mysterious Enigma Variations – fourteen “tongue-in-cheek musical depictions of his friends” that will make your mood merry.

The Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra is located at 350 Harbor Drive, approximately one mile from our Lake Superior inn. Director Markand Thakar has gained accolades for his innovative programming, as the performance on April 17 wonderfully demonstrates.

The weather should be more mild by mid-April than it is now. You may find yourself wanting to stroll along the shore of Duluth Harbor Basin to reach the DECC Auditorium, home of the Duluth Symphony.

There are several excellent dining options close to our Lake Superior bed and breakfast and the DECC. Both Bellisio’s and Valentini’s Vicino serve outstanding Italian food at a leisurely pace. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake with your meal at Top of the Harbor. Pickwick, a Duluth staple for four generations, serves great food in a warm, comfortable atmosphere.

Welcome spring back into your lives with a weekend at our Duluth bed and breakfast, an excellent dinner out, and a night at the symphony.

Spring in Duluth is like the treasure at the end of a rainbow.
