MSO at the Weidner!

For more than a decade, Civic Music has proudly closed its season with the musical magnificence of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. This season, we improve our proven formula by featuring guest soloist Dr. Catherine Lan performing the exquisite Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No 2 in G Minor and the MSO’s first BCCMA performance on the grand stage of the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts. Join us for a spectacular evening!

Special Venue: Weidner Center for the Performing Arts, UW‑Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Drive Green Bay, WI 54311

An evening to treasure! A talent-rich assemblage of some of classical music’s brightest stars, straight from Alice Tully Hall, will dazzle with world-class musicianship and an awe-inspiring program. From Harry Burleigh spirituals and a Dvořák quintet to a Leonard Bernstein sonata and Copland’s masterful Appalachian Spring, this elite ensemble will share a bold, clean, American sound suggesting open spaces and endless possibilities.

The classical Marsalis! Whether early brass, big band swing, Baroque or jazz, this 10-member brass ensemble blends exceptional technique and energetic flair. The New Orleans-born Rodney, a former student of his famous cousin Wynton, is a trumpeter extraordinaire in his own right and shines in classics by Bach, Rossini, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Harry James, Duke Ellington and others.

A classic tradition! Embodying the colorful spirit of immigrant America, this Midwest-based group spotlights the widely influential classical music of Jewish tradition. They’ve played at Carnegie Hall and toured Europe, collaborated with The Lyric Opera and Chicago Sinfonietta, and brought irresistible musicality and cultural outreach to audiences across the nation.

Veterans, variety, virtuosity! Ever listened to NPR’s “All Things Considered”? If so, you’ve enjoyed engaging musical interludes by this D.C. foursome of former military-band standouts. They delight audiences with the amazing range of their instruments — baritone to soprano — evoking the refined sounds of a string quartet, the harmonies of an organ prelude or the improvisation of jazz.

MSO returns to the Weidner! Having opened with one of the world’s great chamber orchestras, we bookend the season with the power and elegance of a full symphony orchestra. Under new direction and maintaining its longstanding commitment to musical excellence, the Milwaukee Symphony consistently ranks among America’s finest orchestras. Back by popular demand!
