Welcome
Thank you for joining us for our 25th celebratory season of Concerts on the Square! We had an extraordinary turnout this year and we hope you enjoyed each of the programs. We thank you for being a great audience and helping to continue this summertime tradition in Madison.
Our indoor Masterworks series begins its 49th anniversary season with performances comprised of internationally acclaimed artists and exceptional programs for each concert. The Family Concert Series, a series designed to share our love of music with people of all ages, includes the annual Halloween concert (costumes encouraged!) and the new Blue Jeans concert. And don’t miss the Holiday Pops concerts – bring the whole family to start off the holiday season right! I've prepared some introductions to our programs and reflections on music that can can be viewed via this link and more will be added as the season progresses. You may subscribe to these discussions as podcasts via iTunes by clicking this link.
We look forward to seeing you this season and remember to get close to the music!
