• are general admission seating

After starting the season with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Ensemble, we changed direction — two toe-tapping, hand-clapping concerts featuring squeezeboxes galore with the Accordion Virtuosi of Russia and then a repeat performance by the highly popular Quartetto Gelato.

On April 23, we will continue the trend with an encore performance by the Madison-based Isthmus Brass Ensemble. They last appeared on our stage in December 2014. You — our members — enjoyed that concert so much that you joined the musicians in asking for a repeat engagement. You spoke. We listened. Here they come!

This month we also unveil our 2016-17 season. It includes chamber and brass groups, a trio, a male a cappella ensemble and, of course, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. We are confident that you will enjoy these five concerts for the bargain price of $80 for the season. We offer early membership incentives and a bonus concert for new members.

We also remind you that we have numerous opportunities to volunteer and that your financial contributions help make these concerts a vital part of the Green Bay cultural scene.

You can also join fellow music lovers at a post-concert reception at Titletown Brewing Co. and for monthly dining at Perkins, Military and Shawano, Green Bay. So many opportunities, for fun and fellowship. Please tell your family, friends, neighbors — even strangers on the street about Brown County Civic Music Association.

We look forward to joining you April 23 for the exciting Isthmus Brass concert as well as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra on May 21 — and all next season.

Now, whet your appetite for the upcoming performance by Wisconsin’s premiere large brass ensemble by checking out the program and player bios.

This is a friendly reminder that the Brown County Civic Music Association does not promise to replace forgotten or lost tickets. Please remember to locate tickets ahead of time to present to the ticket collectors the evening of the concert.

Share the good news about Brown County Civic Music Association. Ask a friend to join you at the MSO concert. Then invite them to join us as a member.

Memberships in Brown County Civic Music Association also make perfect presents for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Father’s Day, any day. Memberships are earth-friendly with no packaging to get rid of and many wonderful memories to enjoy.

Enjoy a tasty meal at Perkins Restaurant on the corner of Shawano and Military Avenue which donates 10 percent of all sales between 5 and 8 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month to Brown County Civic Music Association!

Brown County Civic Music Association depends on dedicated volunteers to make these concerts part of what we all love about Green Bay. We have numerous opportunities to match your talents and interests, including advertising, history/archives, hosting artists backstage, membership campaign, publicity and marketing, ushers/greeters, talent selection, fundraising and online promotion.

We also need a new president to assume leadership beginning in June.

We need your help and invite you to contact us at office@bccivicmusic.org or (920) 338-1801.
