| The Music Association of Minnetonka (MAM) is seeking vocalists and instrumentalists of all ages and talents to join its nine ensembles. Membership in all of the ensembles requires paying dues and a dedication to weekly rehearsals throughout the year. Approximately 50 performances are held in total by the ensembles at venues throughout the Twin Cities.
