💡 Insights and Processing: You will be prompted to describe what you are seeing and feeling, leading to significant insights and potentially deep emotional release.

Experience a multicultural palette of music with touchpoints in each hemisphere. Latin GRAMMY winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank (b. 1972) transforms the classical string quartet into an indigenous ensemble, imitating Peruvian percussion and panpipes in “Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout.” Hear our solo wind instruments soar over a lush bed of strings with Alexander Glazunov’s (1865-1936) “Rêverie Orientale for Clarinet Quintet,” a work blending the Russian Romanticism with Eastern harmonies, and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ (1872-1958) “Six Studies in English Folk Song.” “Scène Champêtre” by Gabriel Allier (1863-1924) sweeps us into the French countryside, showcasing a charming trio of winds.
Oakwood Chamber Players serve as the professional resident ensemble for the Oakwood Village senior living community. Artistic Directors Valree Casey (oboe/English horn), Nancy Mackenzie (clarinet), Amanda Szczys (bassoon), Marie Pauls (viola), and Maggie Townsend (cello) will be joined by guest violinists Isabella Lippi and Peter Miliczky.

The Science of Ice Cream with Stella Buckley
2026-01-24 12:30 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | The Deliciouser, 931 E. Main St. Suite 7, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Join Team Deliciouser for an ice cream–making workshop led by Stella Buckley of Stellie’s Ice Cream. You’ll learn the foundations of crafting exceptional ice cream, explore unique flavor-building techniques. Enjoy a delicious lunch featuring our signature smash burgers—a perfect blend of culinary learning, great food, and sweet inspiration.
In 2021, Stella moved to Madison to launch her scientific career. A couple of years later, she received a KitchenAid ice cream bowl for Christmas. Excited to apply her love for research and development to perfecting an ice cream base recipe, Stella began crafting ice cream in her home kitchen. She shared her creations with colleagues, friends, and family. Within a year, demand for Stellie’s Ice Cream grew so strong that Stella bought an ice cream bike cart, vending around the Dane County Farmers’ Market on Saturdays. As popularity soared, she opened a storefront on East Washington in June 2025.
Today, Stella continues to use her original recipe for all the ice cream served at Stellie’s. As an artisan ice cream shop, we specialize in handcrafted, small-batch flavors made with high-quality ingredients. We’re passionate about creating memorable dessert experiences for every occasion, and we’re not afraid to push the flavor envelope. Our mobile ice cream cart still brings premium ice cream to the Farmers’ Market each week and is available to cater private events with a delightful selection of classic favorites and unique seasonal flavors that guests of all ages will love.
