This inaugural season includes an opening performance conducted by beloved composer John Williams, a World Premiere commission, symphonic blockbusters, pops superstars, a staged production, and world- class guest artists including Joyce DiDonato. Subscriptions are now on sale, and single tickets will go on sale September 1. Music Director Ken-David Masur said, “I am proud to be a part of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra during this exciting time of new possibilities. We are about to embark on a maiden voyage together in this stunning hall. Our season includes works specially curated to reveal the glorious acoustics of our new space - from symphonic cornerstones to new pieces.

In 2020.21, the orchestra will perform some of the most magnificent symphonic music ever written in a space designed to be an awe-inspiring feast for the senses. We are looking forward to celebrating this theater all season long, including presenting a multi-week ‘30s festival honoring the decade in which the theater was built. Our goal in 2020.21 is to create immersive artistic experiences that will engage our entire community.” New programs this season include Bradley Symphony Center Presents concerts, which are presented without orchestra. Those include Joyce DiDonato, Canadian Brass, and Vienna Boys Choir, among others. This year, the Milwaukee Symphony has also added several prelude Pops programs on Friday morning at 11:15 AM. Music Director Ken-David Masur’s Second Season The Milwaukee Symphony’s inaugural season in the Bradley Symphony Center is Ken-David Masur’s second season as music director. During 2020.21, Masur will conduct 13 concert weekends that feature music from baroque to contemporary. Repertoire highlights include a new commission by Eric Nathan, Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9, a staged production of Grieg’s Peer Gynt, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, and Duruflé’s Requiem. It will also include contemporary works by living composers – John Adams, Somei Satoh, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, and Sebastian Currier. Masur will also conduct the Milwaukee Symphony’s perennial favorite Handel’s Messiah performances. John Williams Returns to the Milwaukee Symphony on October 10, 2020 The renowned composer behind Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, and countless more — John Williams — joins the MSO on stage to conduct an evening of his own music. Ken-David Masur leads the first half, which includes many favorite themes including Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and “Hedwig’s Theme” from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone; after intermission, Williams brings it home with tunes from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and more. Classics Season Opener – Live Milwaukee PBS Broadcast – October 24, 2020 The 2020.21 Classics Season continues the Milwaukee Symphony’s celebration of 250 years of Beethoven – opening with a live-televised performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 “Ode to Joy,” with the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, directed by Cheryl Frazes Hill, Christiane Libor (soprano), Clara Osowski (mezzo-soprano), Kang Wang (tenor), and Dashon Burton (baritone). The concert will also feature the world premiere of a new Milwaukee Symphony commission by Eric Nathan, as well as John Adams’s Absolute Jest performed by the Aizuri Quartet. The first classics weekend will include three performances, October 23 at 8 pm, October 24 at 8 pm, and October 25 at 2:30 pm. Staged Production of Grieg’s Peer Gynt conducted by Ken-David Masur and directed by Bill Barclay The MSO will present a staged adaptation of Peer Gynt on January 22-24, 2021. Conductor Ken-David Masur and director Bill Barclay and Concert Theatre Works reunite Grieg’s unforgettable music (including the immediately recognizable “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and “Morning Mood”) with a fun and modern take on Ibsen’s drama. This creative team has assembled eight costumed actors, a playful puppet and props, the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, and more to create an expansive staged spectacle — all to tell the outlandish tale of Peer Gynt, a hopeless yarn-spinner who lies and sneaks his way through many misadventures and ultimately learns his lesson. ‘30s Festival The Milwaukee Symphony will celebrate the 1930s – the decade in which the Warner Theater opened – in a 3-week program exploration of the decade’s best music. Ken-David Masur will lead two programs and former music director Andreas Delfs will lead one. The first program on January 29 and 30, conducted by Delfs and featuring vocalist Ute Lemper, will include the sweeping score of Korngold’s Captain Blood and works by Weill (Threepenny Opera Suite and Songs) and Prokofiev. American composers are on display February 5-7, including African America trailblazer William Grant Still and Pulitzer Prize-winning Samuel Barber. Pianist Aaron Diehl performs Gershwin’s Second Rhapsody as well as the only Piano Concerto of African American female pioneer composer Florence Price. Finally, Ken-David Masur leads the orchestra in a Pops program called “Prohibition” February 12-14. Prohibition takes audience members on a musical journey through the era, from Rudy Vallee and Josephine Baker to Kurt Weill and King Oliver. It features the top hits of the era, enhanced by outstanding vocalists – Myra-Maud, Madison Clare Parks, and Bronson Norris Murphy – plus imagery and video transporting patrons back in time. While suitable for all ages, “Prohibition” contains imagery and themes of adult nature. Holidays at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Canadian Brass – December 8 – One of the most popular brass ensembles in the world performs holiday tunes. Holiday Pops – December 11-13 – The whole family is invited to the Milwaukee Symphony’s musical holiday tradition. Shayna Steele, a powerhouse vocalist, joins the MSO for favorite carols, classics, and sing-alongs. Vienna Boys Choir – December 19 – The Vienna Boys Choir performs holiday favorites – hymns, carols and folk songs. Handel’s Messiah – December 16-20 – Conducted by Ken-David Masur and featuring the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, audiences will experience Handel’s Baroque masterpiece. The Thursday, December 17, performance will be held at the Bradley Symphony Center. The December 16 and 18-20 performances will take place at the Basilica of St. Josaphat. Introducing Resonance Food Co. The Milwaukee Symphony and its hospitality partners have scaled up food and beverages with the creation of Resonance Food Co. Resonance Food Co. will offer a medley of choices, prepared on-site by full-time chefs. The second floor Atrium and the ground level Gallery will feature full bars with comfortable lounge seating for mingling and conversation. In addition, five bars will serve every level of the Symphony Center, and patrons will be welcome to take beverages into the concert hall. Patrons should expect signature dishes and bespoke drinks, accented by local flavors and favorite traditions, as well as changing menus that reflect concert themes.

  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University. In April 2011 the Marinus Ensemble received a $200,000 unrestricted artist development grant to further the Marinus Project. Joseph completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where his primary teachers were Paul Katz for cello and Pozzi Escot for composition.

  • Ludwig Van Beethoven: the Heard and the Unhearing. a Medical-Musical
    Chapter 11 “The best productQ that we can boast of” – Beethoven in the USA Gregor Herzfeld Introduction In a somewhat exaggeratedly pithy form, the history of Eur- opean concert music (“western concert music”) since the first third of the 19th century could be described as a history of en- gagement with the music of Beethoven. Like every platitude, this is for sure too sweeping and in its scope does not reach every area equally; for some genres (symphonies, string quar- tets, piano music), it is more applicable, while for others (opera, operetta, church music) less so. Beethoven’s music had an effect, however, that reached far beyond its achievements in composi- tional technique, into the realms of how we perceive and assess music in general, so that Beethoven was able to become the benchmark of aesthetic attributions of meaning with a status verging on the iconic.1, 2 What holds true for Europe can also be observed on the other side of the Atlantic, to the extent that the USA began to build up, or at least expand, a music and con- cert scene based on the European model. By Europe becoming the model, Beethoven as an essential point of reference shifted to the center of musical attention, too. In the following, I would like to provide a short overview of the developments that the American relationship with Beet- hoven underwent from the 19th through to the 21st century. In this, I follow one narrative (among possible others) that de- scribes a process of making a hero out of Beethoven in the 19th century, which, with the gradual repudiation of the “European model” in the 20th century is turned into the opposite, so to speak, into a kind of “demonization” of the one-time hero, 162 “The best product that we can boast of” – Beethoven in the USA and is then guided towards a state of balance under the banner of postmodern cool-headedness.
