When we lived in Wisconsin, our winters passed with season's tickets to the Milwaukee Symphony. It was a monthly ritual we looked forward to with great anticipation. After every concert, we usually headed to Mama Mia's on Greenfield Avenue for manicotti and fry bread...a decadent dinner, perfect for discussing the concerts.Last night, Handsome and I again made our way to downtown Milwaukee, where we were treated to delightful performances of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (also called "The Pastorale") and Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major. For nearly two hours, the music and musicians (featuring a solo performance by violinist, Vadim Repin) carried us away. You can click here for a Milwaukee Journal review of the performance.
When we were filled with the music, we made our way to Mama Mia's, where we had our fill of our favorite Italian food. It was, beyond a doubt, a perfect evening in wintry Wisconsin.
