CONCERT DETAILS
The MSO’s Water Festival continues with Rameau’s Suite from Naïs, his French Baroque opera depicting the sea god Neptune’s love story with the eponymous water nymph. We then transition to Italian Baroque as the MSO’s own Ilana Setapen and Jennifer Bouton Schaub each perform an elegant Vivaldi concerto. Handel’s jubilant Water Music, originally written for performance on the River Thames for King George I, fills Allen-Bradley Hall with gorgeous flowing melody.
The MSO is pleased to feature the following community partners as part of our 3-week Water Festival. Learn more about how water plays an important role in our greater Milwaukee region!
