Music Mosaics - UW-Whitewater Piano Trio

featuring - Leanne League, violin; Benjamin Whitcomb, cello; and Myung Hee Chung, piano 

The Whitewater Piano Trio presents a pair of masterworks for violin, cello, and piano. The Trio in B minor, Op. 8 was one of the works with which a 21-year-old Brahms made a resounding impact on the musical scene—and Brahms himself thought enough of the work that he came back to revise it nearly 40 years later. Beethoven also wrote piano trios as a very young man but Op.70, No.2 of 1809 heard here is the work of a mature composer, writing during the most prolific period of his career.

For tickets, please call 262-472-2222.

The Comedy of Errors - The Acting Company 
Thursday, February 16, 2012 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
The Comedy of Errors - The Acting Company
The Comedy of Errors, one of Shakespeare's earliest plays, involves humor derived from slapstick, puns and wordplay. The story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth in a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities leading to wrongful attacks, a near-seduction, an arrest and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and demonic possession. Shakespeare sets all this action in one day and features a recurring theme across his work: blending tragic situations with comedic resolutions and introducing slapstick to wide appeal."The Acting Company endures as the major touring classical theatre in the United States." - The New York Times
Sound Bites 6:00 pm - An informational pre-show discussion held in the main lobby with desserts and beverages available for purchase.

Gribben has written numerous essays about Mark Twain's life and image.
