Beauty and Brilliance

Arrive early for a 6:30pm pre-show performance by Sonora Suzuki Strings of Madison.

Our 36th season begins with some of the most beautiful and brilliant music ever written. Schubert's Nocturne, although not that often performed, will melt your heart. Mozart wrote his 1st Piano Quartet to show off the brilliance of the new-fangled piano-forte as only he could. Our Gala Opening night and the following three programs conclude with one of the 19th century's most esteemed composers, Joachim Raff, whose First Piano Quartet is mesmerizing and captivating from beginning to end. Favorite pianist Jeannie Yu from the Milwaukee Symphony stars in the Mozart and Raff.
