“I am thrilled that the depth and breadth of our conservatory’s amazing student musicians will be featured on Wisconsin Public Television’s broadcast of our Kaleidoscope concert,” said Brian Pertl, dean of the Lawrence Conservatory of Music. “In 60 minutes of non-stop music-making, audiences across the country will be treated to Lawrence’s unique brand of breathtaking musicianship.
“I am deeply thankful to Wisconsin Public Television and their team of dedicated artists for partnering with us to create such a beautiful show,” Pertl added.
The fourth edition of Kaleidoscope showcased the musical talents of more than 300 Lawrence students in a sold-out performance at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. The concert spotlighted both large ensembles (symphony orchestra, concert choir, Gamelan Cahaya Asri, wind ensemble, opera, jazz ensemble) and chamber groups (bassoon ensemble, voice/cello ensemble, string quartet, piano/oboe/viola, saxophone/marimba, piano duet).
An excerpt from the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony provided the performance’s exclamation mark.
