FIRST MONDAYS CONCERTS: Art and Song in Vienna
Any list of the greatest composers of art song would be sorely incomplete with the names Brahms, Mozart, and Schubert. These three musical giants, who spent much of their lives in Vienna, Austria, will be featured prominently in a performance that blends the visual art of that time and place with some of their most enchanting compositions for solo voice or small ensemble.

FIRST MONDAYS CONCERTS: Bold and Brassy
While the modern brass quintet has only been around since the 1940s, a wealth of compositions has developed, ranging from the obvious bold and energetic works that horns are known for to the more tender and subtle repertoire these instruments are beautifully capable of playing. The stellar ensemble of Zachary Silberschlag (trumpet), Casey Tamanaha (trumpet), Marie Lickwar (horn), Jason Byerlotzer (trombone), and TJ Ricer (tuba) will present an evening of outstanding music for brass quintet featuring both “classical” works and popular songs on the lighter side.

FIRST MONDAYS CONCERTS: A Scandinavian Pilgrimage
The classical music world is well accustomed to the music of Germany, Austria, Italy, and France while Scandinavian music, on the other hand, isn’t as often associated with the golden age of music. Notable Scandinavian composers were often influenced by local nature, the constantly changing weather, and local religious beliefs. Composers like Grieg, Sibelius, and Nielson were known for creating moods of simplicity, minimalism, calmness, meditation, and even a kind of detachment from the world in their work. Join us for vocal and instrumental pieces of Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish origin.
