Northern Lights is fortunate to have access to an array of historic performance venues for its concerts and operas.

By performing in these unique venues, Northern Lights is not only able to bring the highest level of classical music to Iron Range communities but to celebrate and showcase the architectural gems found in Northeastern Minnesota.

Over the years our venues have included; Mesabi East School and Holy Rosary RC Church in Aurora, Chisholm High School Auditorium, Washington Auditorium in Ely, the Copper Top Church In Duluth, B’Nai Abraham Synagogue in Virginia, the Reif Center in Grand Rapids, Hibbing High School Auditorium, Buhl Public Library, St. Mary’s Church in Tower, Assumption Church in Eveleth, the Discovery Center in Chisholm, and Virginia High School’s Goodman Auditorium.

Many of the historic libraries on the Iron Range host free programs by our younger participants.

In 2020, Northern Lights acquired B’Nai Abraham from the Friends of B’Nai Abraham. With a dedicated performance space, Northern Lights was able to present a series of socially-distanced concerts and recitals during the 2020 season.
