Season Listing | Biography | Program

We’ve landed a super sub for the November cancellation that occurred when East Coast weather grounded Solid Brass Ensemble. Unable to reschedule, we turned to an exciting young group we had already been eying for next year’s series: the all-female Seraph Brass led by trumpet standout Mary Bowden. They’ll perform for us at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 24. (Use your tickets for the cancelled show for this one; if you’ve misplaced them, just check in at our Civic Music table in the lobby.)

Professional symphony orchestra! For more than a decade, Civic Music has proudly closed its season with the brilliance and power of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, a Wisconsin cultural treasure and one of this nation’s finest orchestras. Celebrating the traditional and contemporary in always-crowd-pleasing programs, the  full-time professionals of the MSO bring the full measure of symphonic beauty to the Green Bay stage.

Colossally talented’ organist! With brilliance and bravado, elegance and energy, this young, Spanish-born artist has staked his claim among the world’s elite performers. Writes the Washington Post, “His fearless playing and, at times, brazen registrations give his eclectic programs a nervy, exciting flair so often lacking in (other) classical recitals.”

Special Venue: This concert is at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts (UW‑Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Drive Green Bay, WI 54311 ) to make use of the facility’s world-class, 3,700‑pipe organ.

Premier ensemble! This eight-member, a cappella group is regarded by many as America’s premier male vocal ensemble. Cantus brings finesse, grace and power to repertoire spanning Renaissance to 21st century. Impeccable technique and an engaging stage presence combine for memorable, crowd-pleasing concerts.

Classical excellence! An ensemble of 11 violinists and a pianist, the Virtuosi are the state ensemble of the Russian republic of Yakutia. Winners of numerous international competitions, these gifted young players have dazzled American audiences with their warm tone, flawless precision and expressive musicality in the finest Russian tradition.

Direct from Vienna! Recently signed to the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, this crossover ensemble of four brothers features two former Vienna Philharmonic standouts. Exceptional musicians fluent in traditional classical music as well as American jazz, Gypsy, tango and Latin, Janoska has won standing ovations from Vienna to Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House.
