Next week, many of Milwaukee’s performing arts groups are offering a variety of music- from gypsy baroque and 19th century romantic to 21st century pop music. And Urban Milwaukee has free tickets worth $58 to $70 for two tickets to one of these three events. If you’re an Urban Milwaukee member, you can pick your weekend event(s), on us.

Urban Milwaukee is home to Milwaukee’s only news-site membership program, and this time we are offering a variety of tickets to members. If you sign up to become a member, we’ll give you two tickets to this weekend’s event of your choice, while our supplies last.

Members are able to claim tickets to the following events:

• Early Music Now’s “Red Priest ‘The Baroque Bohemians: Gypsy Fever From Campfire to Court’”: Named after the flame-haired priest Antonio Vivaldi, Red Priest’s vibrant and energetic performances have earned them comparisons to the Rolling Stones and Cirque du Soleil. In their most explosive program to date, Red Priest explores the connections – real and imagined – between gypsy musicians and the master composers of the 17th and 18th centuries. Two tickets are worth $70. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church – January 26th – 5 p.m. Click here to claim your tickets. 

• South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center’s “Music that Made Milwaukee Famous”: The Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra (MMO) has been a Milwaukee fixture since 1900. Known for its performance of music from America’s golden age of mandolin orchestras (the late 1800s to early 1900s), the MMO does sparkling versions of rags, waltzes, marches and other music. Join the MMO plus Milwaukee musicians Misha Litvin and Stas Venglevski, a fast fingered dorm and Bayan duo, and Robin Pluer, a lovely and charming chanteuse. Two tickets are worth $60. South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center – January 26th – 7:30 p.m. Click here to claim your tickets.

• Frankly Music’s “Robert and Clara”: A commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s birth, as well as a few works by her husband Robert, including his Piano Quartet, Op. 47. The concert features a quartet of top musicians, playing violin, viola, cello and piano and performing works of Schumann as well as Brahms/Bach. Two tickets are worth $58. Schwan Concert Hall, Wisconsin Lutheran College – January 29th – 7 p.m. Click here to claim your tickets.
