“The World on a Human Scale” focuses on the experience growing up as adults. How do we understand the world around us as we leave adolescence for adulthood? What does it mean to be yourself? Or build a life with someone? How do we grow old? There will be songs of a variety of genres on love, on life milestones, on memories, on moving on, and on celebration. Featuring Symphonic Singers, Chamber Choir, and Devil Tones Acappella.

The UW-Stout Symphonic Singers, Chamber Choir, and Devil Tones Acappella present an evening of music that are about the weather — from the fair to the bad, and some improbable ones too! Tickets: $5.
The concert commemorates the 400th year since the passing of William Byrd. A master of renaissance polyphony, Byrd influenced so many of his contemporaries with his intricate writing of intertwining lines and dramatic harmonies. The program would include works by three different Thomases: Tallis, Byrd’s teacher and partner in a (failed) publishing business; Morley, Byrd’s student who dedicated a popular music theory book to Byrd; and Weelkes, also Byrd’s student who sadly, like Morley, only lived for about half the years as their beloved teacher.

“Totentanz”: A Musical Meditation on Mortality
To depart is a fundamental experience — one that we may have collectively experienced all too frequently over the last three years. We invite you to reflect and meditate with us through a concert of German music from the Renaissance and the early 20th century. Songs and motets by Eccard, Hassler, Isaac, Schein, and Schütz express the sorrow for the departed, while giving solace and hope to the living. The centerpiece, Totentanz (Dance of Death) composed by Hugo Distler in 1934, draws its text from a Medieval morality play in which Death has a final dialog with people of all walks of life.
Free admission; donations accepted.
The UW-Stout Symphonic Singers, Chamber Choir, and Devil Tones Acappella brings you a select of music that examines the power of seeing, be it to see the person that you love, or to see a new future for our world.
Tickets available via UW-Stout University Ticketing.

Despite the centuries in between, these Mass settings share some surprising origins. We invite you to come along on this discovery.

Designed and directed by Grant Herreid, the program features a narrator, loosely based on Thomas Coryat, an English seventeenth century travel writer, who, as a young man, travels throughout Europe in search of music. Beginning in London, listening to John Dowland and other Elizabethan composers, traveling to Paris and finding motets and masses from the Notre Dame school, he then discovers Claudio Monteverdi’s compositions in Venice. When he returns to Restoration London as an old man, he enjoys the music of Henry Purcell.
