Join us as we celebrate the orchestra Edo has built.

The MSO’s 2009.10 season marked the beginning of the Era of Edo.

Seven seasons and 174 performances later, the Era of Edo has come

full circle. Maestro Edo de Waart has guided our orchestra along the

road to excellence. And we have arrived.

Edo’s final season begins with an astounding cast of internationally-acclaimed

opera artists in a semi-staged production of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.

From there, the season is peppered with an array of exceptional artists, some

familiar, some new. Expect nothing less than thrilling performances by pianists

Emanuel Ax, Ronald Brautigam, the Naughton sisters, Behzod Abduraimov, and

Jeremy Denk. Enchanting vocalists are sure to leave you speechless, yet cheering.

Cellist Zuill Bailey and violinist Itzhak Perlman provide breathtaking performances.

And MSO principal players showcase their brilliance as soloists.

There’s no doubt: premiere orchestra builder Edo de Waart has left an indelible

mark on the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. It’s Edo’s final season. Be there for

every last note.

JOHN LUTHER ADAMS Become Ocean

“Like the sea at dawn, Become Ocean presents a gorgeous

surface, yet its heaving motion conveys overwhelming

force…tonally centered, almost to the point of lushness,”

wrote Alex Ross in The New Yorker. “It may be the loveliest

apocalypse in musical history. I went away reeling.”

ELGAR Enigma Variations

“I can only write when the spirit moves me," confided

Sir Edward Elgar. But when he was inspired, his music

could move an entire kingdom. The great and noble

Enigma Variations are miniature portraits of the

composer’s friends, loved ones, and even himself.

The moving “Nimrod” variation is one of the greatest

moments in the repertoire.
