WMSE Continues Partnership with Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
Broadcast of MSO 2018 Season begins Sunday, Sept. 23
Beginning Sunday, Sept. 23 at 3 p.m., WMSE will broadcast the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s 2018 season. The 2018 Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra – On Stage radio series celebrates the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth. Highlights of the 2018 series include works by iconic American composers such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber and George Gershwin as well as a focus on contemporary works by living composers such as Jake Heggie, Nico Muhly, John Adams, Augusta Read Thomas, Pierre Jalbert and Joan Tower.
“It is an honor to host this weekly series on WMSE’s airwaves. To hear the works of Leonard Bernstien along the side of modern day composer John Adams is truly inspiring,” praised WMSE Station Manager, Tom Crawford.
The series opens with a bang as Conductor Cristian Măcelaru directs Bernstein Overture to Candide, Anna Clyne Masquerade, Jake Heggie Suite from Moby Dick and Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A major, Opus 92. Hosted by Modern Chamber DJ Jason Wietlispach, the MSO has become a staple of WMSE’s Sunday programming.
