Be among the first to experience the unveiling of Leah’s final artwork – an awe-inspiring textile piece created for the Geology Museum. Learn how curiosity, conversation, and collaboration turned billion-year-old rocks into an artistic and scientific celebration of deep time and deeper connections.

Michelle Thaller: Cosmic Treasures – Chasing Asteroids for Clues to the Origins of Life

No problem, right? Just chase down a small rock 200 million miles away, traveling literally faster than a speeding bullet, vacuum up a sample of its surface, and shoot it back to Earth. The story turned out to be more difficult, dramatic, and rewarding than anyone expected. Join us to find out why we went to so much trouble to bring back an ancient sample of our solar system and what was waiting inside that absolutely blew our minds.

Oakwood Chamber Players Fall Concert: Musical Mystique
2025-10-24 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | Oakwood Prairie Ridge Chapel, 5565 Tancho Drive, Madison, WI, 53718, United States
The Oakwood Chamber Players usher in a hint of mystery and macabre with performances at Oakwood Villages Prairie Ridge (5565 Tancho Drive) on Friday, October 24, and University Woods (6205 Mineral Point Road) on Saturday, October 25, both at 7 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. matinee at Arts + Literature Laboratory on Sunday, October 26 (111 South Livingston Street).
The ensemble’s swath of strings, winds, and piano will present an array of impish and dramatic musical delights, linked together by the spirited and mischievous “Polka” by Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998). Piano Quartet in A minor by Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), a profound early work left unfinished, included musical sketches that Schnittke attempted to complete and quoted in his own later work. Fellow Russian Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), one of Schnittke’s primary musical influences, wrote his powerfully moving String Quartet No. 3 amidst the climate of Stalinist cultural oppression.
Two living composers add further dimension to the lineup of 20th century heavy hitters, Korine Fujiwara (“Artfully layered and knitted together…,” The Wall Street Journal) and GRAMMY nominee Miguel del Aguila (“Vivacious rhythmic…inspired musicianship…,” Latino Magazine, Washington DC). Del Aguila’s “Tango Trio” taps into the Argentine-Uruguayan tango and Brazilian samba, while Fujiwara’s “Out of the Depths” draws inspiration from sacred music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Oakwood Chamber Players serve as the professional resident ensemble for the Oakwood Village senior living community. Artistic Directors Valree Casey (oboe/English horn), Amanda Szczys (bassoon), Marie Pauls (viola), Maggie Townsend (cello), and new associate member Stacy Regehr (piano) will be joined by guest violinists Leanne Kelso and Holly Wagner.
Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 seniors, and $5 for students. Run time, 75 minutes, no intermission. For more information and advance ticket sales, visit oakwoodchamberplayers.com.
