Concert Series Coordinator
What a great year for classical music at the Wisconsin Union Theater! If you've missed our previous season events, be sure to come on saturday, May 5 at 7:30 to hear Peter Serkin play a piano recital on our stage. It'll be your last change to attend the Concert Series in the Union Theater before we reopen in 2014-15! Serkin returns to the Union Theater 43 years after his Madison debut, performing a recital of works by Knussen, Takemitsu, Wuorinen and Beethoven. We are very excited to host him on our stage for the fifth time.
Although we won't be in the theater next year, we have an exciting 2012-13 Concert Series awaiting you. The upcoming series is full of young, emerging artists, some familiar faces and some new ones. All artists on next year's series have agreed to present outreach events, including master classes and Q&A sessions, as part of each of their visits to Madison! More details on those events will be made available in the coming months.
Due to the Union Theater's upcoming renovation, all events in next year's Concert Series will take place in Mills Hall at the UW School of Music. We are deeply fortunate to have this collaboration with the staff and students at the School of Music in order to make these events possible.
