Young or not quite so young, music lives

in all of us. It’s powerful. Can you hear it?

Dvořák to Debussy to Doc, the Milwaukee Symphony

Orchestra celebrates the liberating power of music. Listen

with your heart. You’ll find the lost art of relaxation is alive

and well whenever the MSO is playing.

Settle in, sit back, and relax. And dare to be free — wrapped

warmly in the magical sound of a live performance.

“The symphony must embrace the world,” said Gustav Mahler. And in his heartfelt Symphony Number Four, he reveals his world through the innocent eyes of a child. Edo de Waart returns to lead Mahler’s heart-rending Fourth Symphony. Plus, music Edo de Waart has long championed, that of John Adams, whose On the Transmigration of Souls commemorates those lost on 9/11.

Through the veil of impressionism, their music beguiles and seduces. Debussy’s gentle Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun would shatter musical convention, while his Ibéria is an intoxicating evocation of Spain. Ravel, too, would offer his impression in the Rhapsodie espagnole, while his setting of Shéhérazade explores the exotic.

Lemony Snicket’s The Composer is Dead There’s dreadful news from the concert hall — the composer is dead! In this perplexing musical murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi, and nearly everyone is a musical instrument. The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra invites you to join the inspector as he interrogates the entire symphonic arrangement regarding their whereabouts at the time of the crime. Starting with the strings and working his way to the percussion, the inspector finds sound alibis and dead ends down every sonic avenue. But one thing’s for sure — nobody is leaving the concert hall until this mystery is solved.

Buttons and Buttercup“You no longer love me,” laments Buttercup to Buttons. And so begins a tale of love at the circus — a 20th-century version of Mozart’s Bastien and Bastienne. In this story, Buttercup the clown pines for the lost affection of fellow clown, Buttons. Buttons, distracted by a fancy trapeze artist, discovers his true heart belongs to Buttercup. Oh, but how can they be together again? Only the magician knows the answer!

Dvorák: Symphony No. 9Whose World?March 7, 2013 | 7:30p | uihlein HallEdo de Waart, conductorGerard McBurney, creative director and narratorPresented in collaboration with UWM.

For one evening only, chicago’s engaging beyond the Score® program comes to town. Designed for classical music aficionados and newcomers alike, the first half of Beyond the Score® offers a multimedia examination of the score — its context in history, how it fits into the composer’s body of works, and events in the composer’s life that shaped its creation.

Dvořák’s New World Symphony is one of the most popular pieces of orchestral music ever written. Here the idea of Echoes of Nations becomes very complex: for Dvořák’s fellow countrymen, this work is perhaps the greatest Czech symphony and expresses the composer’s longing for his homeland. For Americans, this is the first great symphony about America. For African-Americans, this is the first great orchestral work to use themes inspired by their songs and spirituals. For Native Americans, it is the first, and so far the only, great work inspired by Native American music.

Learn how this symphony grew out of Dvořák’s abandoned opera based on Longfellow’s Hiawatha epic, and how Longfellow’s inspiration itself mixes North American and European stories and ideas.
