If you are near the Fox Valley, or don't mind the drive to Oshkosh, there is a special concert coming up that you should consider. On the evening of Tuesday November 12 at 7 PM in the UW Oshkosh Music Hall, Arts and Communication Building, you can hear the Oshksoh Horn Choir in concert. This group is made up of community and student horn players under the direction of Dr. Bruce Atwell.
The program will mix classics, jazz, and pop music, all performed by a choir of French Horns. If you have not heard a group such as this, I highly recommend coming to the concert to experience the harmonies of the horn. The group performs difficult music very well. And to top it all off, there is no admission charge.
For information about the concerts in the Oshkosh Music Hall, see the Arts Calendar. Specific questions can be sent to Dr. Bruce Atwell.
I will be there and I hope to see you there as well.

Concert Reminder
Just a reminder this week of two concerts coming up. The first concert is on Sunday the 20th. The Lakeshore Symphonic Band performs at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center at 4 PM. The program, entitled Kind Of Blue, will feature pianist Heinrich “Heinzel” Kunsmann of Cedarburg playing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Also, vocalist Jocely Ridgely sings Rodgers & Hart's Blue Moon. Sounds like a fun concert.
And the Waukesha Area Symphonic Band will perform with the bands of Waukesha South High School on Tuesday the 22nd beginning at 7 PM. I always like to attend these concerts and watch the faces of the students as they perform music that is more difficult than they are used to. You can see the concentration as they work to keep up with the adults in the community band.
