BONJ
Announces the exciting 2024-2025 Season.
On Sunday, November
17, our season opens with a special concert as we remember Giacomo
Puccini, one of opera's most beloved composers, on the 100th
Anniversary
of
his death. BONJ singers will present several of Puccini's most popular
arias and scenes. The second
half of the concert will feature the great Symphony
#2 by Johannes Brahms!
With our opening concert,
we start our collaborative relationship with The Morris Museum as we
will perform at the Bickford Theater. Under director Tom Loughman,
the museum has become a leader in local arts with exciting new exhibits
and shows.
This special
concert will begin at 3:00 PM.
Warming Winter, our
annual winter wassail concert will be Sunday, January 19 at 2:00 PM at Grace
Episcopal Church, our original Madison home! This year's wassail
concert will feature guest artists Jane Rondin playing the solo
French horn part for Artek, a
beautiful composition by American composer Alan Hovhaness, and
the duo of violinist Miriam Davis and pianist Michael
Bulychev Okser who will perform the sparkling yet too rarely heard Double
Concerto of Felix Mendelssohn.
Our Spring concert will
be at Dolan Hall, The Annunciation Center, Saint Elizabeth
University, on Sunday April 27, at 2:00 PM. The concert will feature
two symphonies: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony #38, The
Prague Symphony and Petr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony
#6, The Pathetique. Tchaikovsky often stated that Mozart was his
major inspiration, so we thought it appropriate to pair these two great
symphonies together in one incredible concert.
For our final concert, we
return to Grace Episcopal Church for a Classical Era Concert on
Sunday June 22, at 2:00 PM. Franz Joseph Haydn's popular Symphony
#101, The Clock, will open the concert. We will welcome pianist Jackie
Schiller to perform Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto
#1.
