Classical Mystery Tour Martin Herman, conductor

Fifty years ago, The Beatles went on U.S. tour. And Milwaukee was among the 20 U.S. cities on their route. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the British invasion with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the four musicians of “Classical Mystery Tour.” Imagine “Penny Lane” with a live trumpet section, the beauty of “Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar and string quartet, plus the rock/classical blend on the hard edged “I Am the Walrus.” The best of The Beatles — totally live!

S’Wonderful The Music of George Gershwin Michael Krajewski, conductor Lisa Vroman, vocalist Michael Chertock, piano Inspired by the sound of a train, the rush of a last-minute deadline, and a work of contemporary art, Gershwin wrote what has become one of the best-loved pieces of American music ever: Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin considered it “… a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our metropolitan madness.“ Hear timeless American Classics S’Wonderful, The Man I Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Embraceable You in a tribute to one of this country’s greatest composers.
