Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras Benefit
Support the musical education of the next generation by attending this performance of Igor Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale. Conducted by Kyle Knox, and featuring some of the city’s finest musicians, the story will be narrated by Wisconsin Public Radio’s Norman Gilliland, a familiar voice for classical audiences.
Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat, a special benefit concert for the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras Chamber Music Program. Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” examines how war can affect us individually and as a society. Now 100 years old, this captivating folktale tells the story of a soldier, a violin, and the devil set to music. What happens when you sell your fiddle in exchange for wealth? What if the buyer happens to be the embodiment of evil: Satan? Wisconsin Public Radio’s Norman Gilliland will bring this enthralling tale to life with a performance by some of Madison’s most talented musicians: Kyle Knox, conductor; Naha Greenholtz, violin; Jeff Takaki, bass; JJ Koh, clarinet; Brian Ellingboe, bassoon; Matthew Onstad, cornet; Tom Macaluso, trombone; Joe Bernstein, percussion.
Full Price: $60.00; Senior (over 62): $50.00; Student (any): $20.00. All proceeds benefit the WYSO Chamber Music Program.
