SUMMARY:Wisconsin Chamber Choir’s Spring Concert “Time Pieces”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wisconsin Chamber Choir for a concert of music about time in its many facets. Our program samples a broad range of poetic and musical interpretations of time\, from 2000-year-old religious texts to music written just a few years ago that speaks to the times we live in\, today. The wide breadth of repertoire ranges from British Romantic composers Edward Elgar and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\, to contemporary Americans Libby Larsen and David Lang\, to popular music icons Cole Porter\, Bob Dylan\, and Dolly Parton.\nAs human beings\, we interact with time in many different ways and on many different levels. The cyclical time of the passing seasons finds voice in Elgar’s passionate O Wild West Wind and Coleridge-Taylor’s luminous Song of Proserpine\, both settings of poems by Shelly. One of the most resolute depictions of recurring time is David Lang’s Again (After Ecclesiastes)\, whose music is based on a mesmerizing\, seemingly endless ostinato. Time as longing animates Argentinian composer Carlos Guastavino’s Ojos de tiempo (Eyes of Time) and Cole Porter’s Night and Day\, and time as eternity bookends Three Herrick Songs by Boston composer William Cutter.\nA special feature of the program is the world premiere of Ever by Minnesota composer\, Michael Ferguson\, a powerful setting of Shakespeare’s Sonnet XIX\, Devouring Time\, Blunt Thou the Lions Paws. Another recent work\, of particular relevance today\, is Minneapolis composer Libby Larsen’s Verdad/True\, a 2019 composition that uses texts by Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral to document the pain of migrants separated from their families\, who long for the time when they will be reunited.\nBob Dylan’s The Times They Are a-Changin’ hit a nerve in 1964\, and Adam Podd’s transcendent arrangement for choir and piano from 2021 testifies to the original song’s continuing relevance. The concert concludes with Dolly Parton’s upbeat anthem about the travails of working 9 to 5.\nTickets are $25 for adults / $5 students\, available in advance from www.wisconsinchamberchoir.org or at the door. Discounted tickets are available for children\, students\, and patrons experiencing financial hardship.\nFounded 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\, a Professor of Music 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.

SUMMARY:Madison Bach Musicians presents "Princely Architects"
DESCRIPTION:A fusion of music and architecture! Legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright\, Wisconsin’s own\, loved the music of Beethoven and Bach and sought to emulate their compositions in his own designs. Madison Bach Musicians is honored to be part of the First Unitarian Society’s official celebration of the 75th anniversary of Wright’s 1951 architectural masterpiece — Unitarian Meeting House — by performing works of Beethoven and Bach in that very space. As Wright said\, “Beethoven\, and Bach too\, were princely architects in my spiritual realm….[M]usic is a kind of sublimated mathematics. So is architecture….They require very much the same mind.” MBM Artistic Director Trevor Stephenson’s pre-concert lecture will draw parallels between Wright’s designs and the compositions featured in the concert program: \n• J. S. Bach: Sonata for Violin and Continuo; French Suite No. 6 in E major for Harpsichord; Prelude & Allemande from Cello Suite No. 3 in C major; and Contrapunctus I & IX from The Art of Fugue\n• Ludwig van Beethoven: Allegro con brio from String Quartet in F minor\, Op. 95 (“Serioso”); and Piano Trio in E-flat major\, Op. 1 No. 1 \nSeating in the Meeting House is limited. We suggest purchasing your tickets in advance. Purchase in-person and/or on-demand tickets at https://madisonbachmusicians.org/princely-architects/

SUMMARY:Developing Characters in Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Many great novels and stories are often described as “character-driven\,” fueled by particularly vivid and memorable people. This class will explore the craft of developing and deepening character in fiction\, with a focus on creating sensory and imagistic details that make characters feel strange\, vivid\, and alive. We will read a selection of remarkable character descriptions for inspiration\, then participate in generative writing prompts to create new characters and/or deepen our understanding of old ones.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Helen Daniels Bader: Belonging and Becoming
DESCRIPTION:“What we believe about ourselves shapes who we are.” \nWelcome to a day of reflection\, creativity\, and celebration inspired by the life and legacy of Helen Daniels Bader — a philanthropist whose compassion continues to shape Milwaukee’s cultural and mental health landscape. \nToday marks a special convergence: Helen’s birthday\, Mental Health Awareness Month\, and Jewish Heritage Month. Together\, these observances invite us to consider identity in all its fullness: the parts we inherit\, the parts we choose\, and the parts that change as we grow. \nAt Jewish Museum Milwaukee\, we recognize that disability and mental health are meaningful aspects of many people’s lived experiences. They influence identity\, but never define a person’s entire story. Helen Daniels Bader understood this deeply. Her commitment to dignity\, inclusion\, and care lives on through Bader Philanthropies\, which continues to support programs that uplift individuals\, families\, and communities. \nThroughout the museum today\, you are invited to explore interactive activities\, quiet creative spaces\, shared stories\, and moments of reflection that encourage you to consider what shapes your identity — and how we\, collectively\, shape one another. \nThank you for joining us in honoring Helen’s legacy and the vibrant\, diverse identities that make up our community. \nReservation are recommended.

SUMMARY:Anberlin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Anberlin playing at Atwood Music Hall. For more than two decades\, Anberlin have remained a formidable force in the alt-rock world\, boasting a wildly devoted fanbase who’ve come to rely on the raw cathartic power of their music. On the massively anticipated Vega—the first album in ten years from vocalist Stephen Christian\, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney\, bassist Deon Rexroat\, and drummer Nathan Young—the Florida-bred band deliver a body of work forged with an explosive new energy\, thanks in part to the addition of singer Matty Mullins (the Memphis May Fire frontman who’s stepped in as live vocalist for Anberlin\, following Christian’s announcement that he’ll no longer tour full-time). The latest triumph in an extraordinary career that’s included selling over 1.5 million albums in the U.S. alone and turning out hits like the No. 1 Alternative Radio smash “Feel Good Drag\,” Vega reveals a band whose creative passion and one-of-a-kind vision have only grown stronger over time. \nArriving on the heels of two back-to-back EPs—2022’s Silverline and 2023’s Convinced—Vega emerged from a period of unbridled creativity for Anberlin\, who parted ways soon after 2014’s Lowborn and reunited for a series of lockdown-era livestreams. In bringing their new album to life\, the band embraced a deliberately free-flowing and DIY approach\, building up songs in McAlhaney’s garage before self-producing the LP at Tampa’s Feral Sound Studios. “In the past we’d sometimes limit our sound to some preconceived idea of what Anberlin is supposed to be\,” says McAlhaney. “This time the mantra was\, ‘If it feels good\, let’s try it.’ Because at the end of the day\, Anberlin is whatever we say it is.” As a result\, Vega encompasses everything from the shout-along-ready pop perfection of “Walk Alone” to the brutally heavy intensity of “Seven” (a shapeshifting and strangely enthralling epic featuring a savage vocal performance from Mullins). “I think after spending time apart we came back with a new perspective\, where we were all just excited to work together and create the best songs we can\,” says Young. “No one was precious about their ideas; it was all about making something that feels new and risky and like nothing we’ve ever done before.” \nAs they get set to embark on the 20 Years of Tears amphitheater tour with Thursday\, Hawthorne Heights\, and Saosin—a 56-date run that marks their most extensive tour in a decade—Anberlin look forward to the pure thrill of performing their new material for their longtime legion of fans. “We’ve had so many people tell us things like\, ‘Your songs got me through a really difficult time in my life\,’ or ‘You guys are what made me pick up a guitar and start my own band\,’” says Rexroat. “It’s an incredible feeling to know that we’ve impacted other people on that level—the amount of love we’ve felt is undeniable\, and it’s one of the main reasons we’ve kept going for as long we have.”
