Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann.

The recently formed Middleton Community Orchestra, now only in its second season, has rapidly established itself as an enriching and enjoyable provider of classical music in an area that is saturated with classical music.
There is, first and foremost, the quality of the playing, from ensemble instrumentalists and young local soloists who are both professionals and amateurs, all under the baton of music director Steve Kurr (below).
You can check out reviews yourself you look up reviews by John W. Barker (below) on this website. Just go to the search engine and type in “John W. Barker” and “Middleton Community Orchestra.”
Then there are the other aspects, many of them social and educational, which I covered in a very positive review I did last spring. Here is a link to that blog post:
In any case, the Middleton Community Orchestra will present its Winter Concert on this coming Wednesday evening, February 27, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at the comfortable Middleton Performing Arts Center (below), which is attached to Middleton High School.
Tickets are $10 general admission. Students are free. Tickets are available at the door, Willy St. Coop West or by calling (608) 212-8690.
The concert once again spotlights a rising local “star” — one of the many laudable things about the orchestra — 20-year old violinist Alice Bartsch (below), in Saint-Saens” Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor. How refreshing to sample the talent around and amid us right here at home!
Other works on the program are: Verdi’s Overture to “Nabucco”; Wagner’s “Siegfried’s Funeral Music” from “Gotterdamerung” (2013 is the bicentennial of the birth of Wagner, below top), the final opera in the “Ring” cycle; Wagner’s “Elsa’s Procession” from the opera “Lohengrin”; and Benjamin Britten’s “Matinees Musicales” (2013 is the centennial of the birth of Britten, below bottom).
Alice Bartsch is a member of the first violin section in the Madison Symphony and studies with Felicia Moye (below), Professor of Violin at University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music.
