Wisconsin Chamber Choir - Ceremony of Carols
2024-12-14 19:30 - 21:00 UTC | Bethel Lutheran Church, 312 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Join the Wisconsin Chamber Choir for an evening of holiday favorites featuring Benjamin Britten’s joyous Ceremony of Carols, in the beautiful sanctuary of Bethel Lutheran Church, downtown Madison. Also on the program are seasonal Latin motets from the seventeenth through twenty-first centuries, stunning arrangements of traditional carols, and a set of carol-inspired works highlighting the relevance of the Christmas story to our own time.
Britten’s Ceremony celebrates the many moods of Christmas in music that is alternately joyful, contemplative, pensive, and uplifting. Composed in 1942 during Britten’s return to England by sea after a three-year sojourn in the US, the playful innocence of Ceremony’s music belies Britten’s dangerous wartime voyage across the north Atlantic, then teeming with German U-boats. En route, the vessel stopped for repairs at Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Britten purchased an anthology of English poetry that contains most of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century poems that he set to music in the work. Britten originally scored Ceremony of Carols for harp and children’s voices; the WCC presents the work in the commonly performed version for mixed choir, accompanied by harpist Celia van den Bogert.
The concert will open with Latin motets from the early Baroque and contemporary eras: Hodie Christus natus est by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Regina Caeli by Cecilia McDowall, and O magnum mysterium by Wayne Oquin. Three beloved carols of the season will ring forth in exquisite arrangements by contemporary Irish and American composers: The Wexford Carol by David Mooney; I Wonder as I Wander by Steve Pilkington, and Go Tell It On the Mountain by Evelyn Simpson-Currenton.
An additional group of works are united by their common “Lullay Lully” refrains: Gustav Holst’s Lullay, My Liking; Malcolm Archer’s This Endris Night, and the anonymous, sixteenth-century Coventry Carol. Inspired by the tragic tone of the latter work, Kansas City composer Jean Belmont Ford composed Manifesto in 2018 as “a plea for kindness in the world.” Her harmonically rich and intensely personal style has made her one of the WCC’s favorite composers, and Belmont’s music is certain to leave a profound impact on the audience.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for students, available in advance from www.wisconsinchamberchoir.org or at the door. Discounted tickets are available for children, students, and patrons experiencing financial hardship.
Founded in 1998, the Wisconsin Chamber Choir has established a reputation for excellence in the performance of oratorios by Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Brahms; a cappella works from various centuries; and world premieres. WCC Artistic Director Robert Gehrenbeck, who serves as Director of Choral Activities at UW-Whitewater, has been hailed by critics for his vibrant and emotionally compelling interpretations of a wide variety of choral music. Under his leadership the WCC has presented major works with orchestra as well as innovative programs of rarely heard music by composers from a wide variety of eras, nationalities, and cultures.

To Tell the Truth: Bernard Perlin during the New Deal and World War II
2025-01-16 19:00 - 20:15 UTC | Jewish Museum Milwaukee, 1360 N. Prospect Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53202, United States
During the 1930s, Bernard Perlin was one of many artists employed by New Deal programs such as the Works Progress Administration to create public works of art, notably post-office murals, that made visible the history of the United States and the labor of those who built this nation. In the early 1940s, Perlin worked for the Office of War Information (OWI) under his mentor Ben Shahn, a leading artist in the American Social Realist movement.
During this time, Perlin produced powerful images, reproduced as posters and an iconic advertisement for war bonds, that decried the horrors of World War II and supported the U.S. war effort in the fight for liberty. Join Dr. Melanie Herzog to learn about Perlin’s and Shahn’s approach to art and propaganda during these years, and their use of the visual language of social realism in murals and their work for the OWI.

Swedish Lager / Dovetail Brewery Collab Release Party
2025-02-08 17:00 - 23:00 UTC | Working Draft Beer Company, 1129 East Wilson Street, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
We made an awesome Swedish-style lager with our friends from Dovetail Brewery in Chicago and we’re so excited about it, we’re throwing a party!
Saturday, February 8, we’re releasing “Bork, Bork, Bork” a Swedish-style lager made in collaboration with Dovetail Brewery. This lager style has roots in German brewing but is slightly sweeter and more full-bodied than German pilsners and with a slightly lower hopping rate. We think it’s perfect for the Wisconsin palate!
To help celebrate, we’re also hosting these fun features:
— Swedish candy pop-up hosted by Ebb & Flow from Milwaukee!
— Treber-style Swedish meatballs available
— IKEA furniture assembly competition
— Special guest taps from Dovetail Brewery!
The fun and games start at 5pm, after the Makers Market. See you for a fun Saturday!

Midwinter Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest 2025
2025-02-08 19:30 - 22:30 UTC | Garver Feed Mill, 3241 Garver Green, Madison, WI, 53407, United States
The 2025 Midwinter Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest is a celebration of the music of Django Reinhardt. This 21st annual event, hosted by Harmonious Wail, welcomes Ferench Gypsy Jazz Guitarist, Stephane Wrembel from New York. Stephane Wrembel is quite simply one of the finest guitar players in the world. This prolific musician, composer, educator, and musical director has released a steady stream of music since 2002 making his mark as one of the most original guitar voices in contemporary music. In October of 2019, Stephane released Django L’Impressionniste putting the spotlight on 17 little-known solo pieces Reinhardt recorded between 1937 and 1950. Stephane is the first interpreter who has performed all of these solo pieces and collected them in one definitive masterwork.
Harmonious Wail is also excited to host the return of Debi Botos from Budapest, Hungary with her trio. From an early age Debi Botos has cultivated an interest in the Gypsy music of Hungary, where she was born into a family of musicians. She continues that exploration in combination with a serious study of the tradition we know as jazz manouche. She excels not only as an interpreter, but as a composer and champion of Hungarian traditional Gypsy Jazz. The show begins at 7:30 with doors at 6pm.
