Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra concertmaster Suzanne Beia.

The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra has put together quite a program for its first Masterworks concert of the season, including a pair of works by modern African American composers. Here I Stand, the eighth symphony by WCO composer in residence Bill Banfield, will make its world premiere, alongside a performance of Patrice Rushen's Sinfonia. The 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth will be marked with a performance of the Triple Concerto, featuring soloists Suzanne Beia (violin), Karl Lavine (cello), and guest Christopher Taylor (piano).
