Sunday Afternoon Live

press release: The Chazen Museum of Art is pleased to announce the continuation of Sunday Afternoon Live at the Chazen for 2016. On the first Sunday of the month, the Chazen presents chamber music performances in Brittingham Gallery III of the Conrad A. Elvehjem Building. In addition to the gallery performance, the monthly concerts are streamed live on the Internet, making them readily accessible around the world; simply go to www.Chazen.wisc.edu on the day of the concert and click on Sunday Afternoon Live at the Chazen.

This year marks the thirty-seventh season for Sunday Afternoon Live at the Chazen. Until 2015, the series was weekly and broadcast live by Wisconsin Public Radio. When WPR stepped away, the Chazen took over the series. Lori Skelton, the congenial producer of Sunday Afternoon Live at WPR for many years, has again graciously volunteered to program the concert series and act as its host. Without her musical expertise, as well as her generosity of spirit, the Chazen would not be able to continue this popular program.

During the intermissions, live stream listeners will hear an interview or conversation featuring the Museum's director, Russell Panczenko. Topics include current exhibitions and the permanent collection.

Sunday Afternoon Live at the Chazen concerts begin at 12:30 p.m. All concerts are free and open to the public, however seating is limited. Chazen Museum of Art members may call 608-263-2246 to reserve seating the week before the concert. Unclaimed seats are released at 12:20.

To listen to the concert live on the Internet, simply go to www.Chazen.wisc.edu on the day of the concert and click on Sunday Afternoon Live at the Chazen.
