LineUp

Founded in 1959, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is a leading U.S. orchestra known for classical masterworks, contemporary music premieres, and a 50-year recording legacy. The ensemble opened its permanent home at the Bradley Symphony Center in 2021.
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 is a landmark symphony composed by German composer Ludwig van Beethoven between 1804 and 1808. Widely recognized as one of the most famous and frequently performed compositions in classical music history, the four-movement work premiered in Vienna in 1808 and is celebrated for its iconic, ominous four-note opening motif, which is often interpreted as the musical manifestation of fate knocking at the door.
Leipzig-born Ken-David Masur, son of Kurt Masur, is a dynamic conductor. He served as Music Director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and leads the Chicago Symphony's Civic Orchestra. Known for innovative programming and championing contemporary music, Masur earned a Grammy nomination for "Salon Buenos Aires" and founded the Chelsea Music Festival.
