On Saturday, October 3, Milwaukee’s PBS affiliate aired a live broadcast of our Grand Opening weekend concert, complete with pre-show, intermission, and post-concert specials. More than 22,000 households in Southeastern Wisconsin tuned in to watch this historic performance. If you missed it, or were hoping for a chance to watch it again, we are excited to share that the performance will be re-broadcast nation-wide on PBS on Friday, December 17 at 8:00 pm Central. Southeastern Wisconsin audiences can tune in on Milwaukee PBS on channels 10 and 36. The pre-concert special will begin at 7:30 pm Central, and it is also available to watch any time at milwaukeepbs.org/mso.

There are a number of firsts here and if you can take the time to watch this re-broadcast, it will be worth every moment!!

Monday Music: Produced by Daniel Kurganov and Sebastian Baverstam: Cello Concerto in d minor “Superwoman, an Ode to Zarathustra”

The Superwoman concerto is about a struggle to be heard and a destination of empowerment. An ode to Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, I believe everyone is on a journey, and everyone finds fulfillment. This piece represents a journey of any kind, whether it is an internal discovery, or an external adventure. I dedicate this piece to my mother, the strongest person I know and a true Superwoman.
