Treating your ears right at the MSO
By Teresa Dickert
Opinion Editor
Melodious notes float through the air. They weave through the atmosphere on invisible threads until they reach the captive ears of those listeners in the audience. It is a wonderfully pleasant experience that anyone can be a part of at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO).
I had the pleasure of experiencing the MSO’s Classic Series, which included a rendition of Mozart’s Overture to Die Zauberflöte, K. 620 (The Magic Flute), Kernis’ Invisible Mosaic III, and Orff ’s Carmina Burana. It was a luxurious night for the ears, and it was all for free through the courtesy ticket of a good friend. I may have one of the busiest schedules in the world (or at least I think so), but this was the ultimate way to unwind. An afternoon or evening at the MSO is a treat for the mind, the ears, and the body. Call me a "music geek" because I listen to the MSO in person and on radio, I do not care, but I promise the live experience is worth your precious time and money. The Classic Series I saw that afternoon has already passed us by, but there are plenty of great concerts yet to be held, so check it out!
Ticket prices range from moderate to college-pocketbook cheap, and there are always plenty of great seats available. So many seats are available that one should purchase a few extra tickets and enjoy the next MSO performance with one’s friends. Enjoy a concert, enjoy each other’s company, and enjoy some good eats afterwards. Indulge yourself for a day. It is worth it.
I only suggest such crazy ideas like "going to the symphony orchestra" because I care about the entertainment and growth of my readers’ minds. Oh yeah, and the thought that one should support the arts because they are cheap and enjoyable as well as the fact that live entertainment definitely surpasses that of watching tired re-runs of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (which is saying a lot coming from such a lover of that amazing show of the early 90s). Lastly, go to the symphony orchestra for yourself; your ears will thank you!
