Chamber Music Recitals (Wednesday): “Winter Whispers,” Featuring WYSO Chamber Music Ensembles

Winter Whispers

Featuring WYSO Chamber Music Ensembles

Settle into a cozy winter evening of chamber music as our student musicians present a second night of intimate ensemble performances. From elegant trios to expressive string quartets and woodwind chamber works, this recital highlights both developing and advanced musicians at their most collaborative.

🎻 Wednesday, December 17, 2025 — 7:00 PM
📍 WYSO Center for Music
1118 E. Washington Ave, Madison, WI
🎟️ Free admission — registration encouraged

Led by Karl Lavine, Chamber Music Program Director, with Marc Fink coaching the Lalita Honors Woodwind Quintet, this performance features classical masterworks by Mozart, Haydn, Dvořák, Mendelssohn, Reicha, and more — each piece selected to showcase precision, communication, and musical storytelling between young artists.

Chamber music thrives on closeness — both between performers and with the audience — making this a beautifully personal way to experience music as winter settles in.
