Overture Organ Festival

The Overture Center will play host to the Madison Symphony Orchestra's Fourth Annual Overture Concert Organ Festival , September 18-20, 2009.

The program opens with a Friday evening (September 18) concert of music for trumpets and organ, featuring MSO organist Samuel Hutchison, MSO principal trumpet and UW Professor John Aley, and guest Andrew Balio, principal trumpet with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Tickets ($15) are required for this event.

On Saturday morning (September 19) at 11 a.m., organist Bruce Bengston will lead a free community hymn sing. The free Saturday morning hymn sings have been a tradition at the Overture Center for some time. Bruce is the long-time director of music at Luther Memorial Church and is a magnificent musician (and a great person!).

On Sunday afternoon, budding trumpet players won't want to miss the free master class for young trumpet players on the stage of the Overture Center. John Aley and Andrew Balio will serve as the master teachers. While the event is free, reservations are required (by September 15).
