A Feast for the Ears & Eyes: The MSO at the Basilica of St. Josaphat

Published 2018-10-17

The symphony has “a great working relationship and partnership” with the basilica, Roloff said, and Christopher Berry, the church’s music director, agreed. “Depending on the repertoire, the basilica is an ideal place,” said Berry, who performs in the space every week. “The choice of tempo is important. We need clean, clear textures, and a manageable tempo that allows all lines to be heard clearly.” But the church’s visual splendor, he said, is probably “why the MSO chooses to return year after year for Messiah concerts. It’s sort of the quintessential-looking sacred space. It’s emblematic of Milwaukee’s churches.”

“We’re interested in providing something for everyone,” said Mark Niehaus, the symphony’s executive director. “By the very name, it has to be popular.” The coming season, which the MSO announced last week, will be a mixture of categories known and liked by local audiences -- Broadway, Hollywood, holidays, and movie soundtracks.
