There are 22 people registered for our 12th season of attending Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra morning concerts. This has been a popular event, with many people attending every year. You can still sign up for the six concert series, or you can be put on a calling list when someone wants to sell a single ticket. Each day of the concert we arrive at the PAC early enough to enjoy a cup of coffee and chat with friends, then attend a pre-concert lecture OR a free style show. The concert begins at 11:15 and we are home by 2:30. Once a year we stay for a “Lunch with the Artist,” enjoying a wonderful lunch and Q&A with the conductor and guest artist.
