Kids love music, but even more, they love musical instruments! Add hands-on fun and you’ve got a hit. Professional musicians from the Madison Symphony Orchestra bring the instruments, you bring the kids!

Each session we’ll meet a new musician with a new instrument, during this gentle, personal introduction to classical music and musical instruments.

This Saturday we’ll meet violinist, Wes Luke, of the Madison Symphony Orchestra.

Wes is the Concertmaster of the LaCrosse (WI) Symphony, the Principal Second Violinist of the Dubuque (IA) Symphony Orchestra, and a section violinist in the Madison (WI) Symphony Orchestra. He is also a frequent substitute violinist with the Wisconsin Philharmonic and the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra. He has performed widely across the United States, Europe, and Japan. He holds degrees from the New England Conservatory of Music and the University of Wisconsin-Madison and currently serves on the teaching faculties of the University of Dubuque, Divine Word College, and Loras College. His principal teachers have been Felicia Moye, Malcolm Lowe, and Doris Preucil.
