We have a wonderful and very diverse season planned this year! Our musical offerings include the finest chamber music, fully staged operas, major choral, orchestral, and band productions, award-winning jazz, an excellent array of artist-faculty and guest artist recitals, world premieres, exciting contemporary music, and something new— the “Taylor Johnston Early Music Series,” three concerts with renowned guest artists focused on historically informed performances of music from the Baroque and Renaissance periods. Kicking off the MSU Federal Credit Union Showcase Series, our choral and orchestral ensembles join together to perform Handel’s beloved and inspiring “Messiah” in December, followed by “A Jazzy Little Christmas,” featuring the MSU Professors of Jazz. Two new showcase events, “A Spanish Serenade” and “International Chamber Soloists with Violinist Dmitri Berlinsky,” will satisfy song and string lovers. Familiar favorites include the Joanne and Bill Church West Circle Series, Cello Plus Chamber Music Festival, Jazz Spectacular, and Latin IS America Festival—something for every musical taste! Please join us often in our renovated, intimate venues for one of life’s greatest pleasures—music.
