In French, sur seine means on the scene, and this ten-day festival of music features plenty of top local musical scenesters—David King, Roma di Luna, Kelly Rossum, Yohannes Tona—collaborating with international artists to create music that is truly innovative, and truly global. Originally conceived as a jazz festival, Minnesota sur Seine has expanded to include music in all types of genres, from improvisational jazz to Celtic to hip-hop to rock 'n' roll.
