Sunday Afternoon Live: Ensemble Aubergine

Join us in the Chazen Mead Witter Lobby for an incredible performance by Ensemble Aubergine! Ensemble Aubergine is Madison's conductorless orchestra providing exhilarating and intimate musical experiences for our community while supporting efforts to combat food insecurity. The ensemble is comprised of members of the Madison Symphony, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, graduate students, and talented freelancers. Ensemble Aubergine rotates its artistic directorship, allowing its artists to curate wide-ranging programs that are both timeless and relevant to our modern world. For this program, the ensemble explores how music and poetry can draw out and deepen emotional responses to Pressing Issues: Printmaking as Social Justice in 1930s US on display on the second floor of the museum. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT EVENT DETAILS The Chazen Mead Witter Lobby will remain open to the public during the concert.
