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.

This special concert will begin at 3:00 PM.

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. To purchase tickets, click here.
