On Monday, members of the Young Musicians of Minnesota held an impromptu concert on Nicollet Mall outside the U.S. Bancorp building to express their support for the locked-out musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra. The location for the concert was no accident: the young performers hoped to send a message to U.S. Bancorp CEO Richard Davis, who serves on the board of the Minnesota Orchestra.
