CLUB 201'S HOLIDAY PARTY CLASSIC

FRI DEC 6 AT 7:30 PM IN OVERTURE HALL
PARTY AFTERWARDS AT FRESCO
Club 201's Holiday Party is a sell-out year after year. The Madison Symphony Christmas concerts begin an hour before curtain time with caroling in the lobby and end with a 2,000-voice sing-along that raises the rafters in Overture Hall. Drink specials, delicious hors d'oeuvres and conviviality make this the unofficial start of Madison's holiday season.

BRONFMAN + BEETHOVEN + BURGERS

FRI MAR 7 AT 7:30 PM IN OVERTURE HALL
PARTY AFTERWARDS AT DLUX
Legendary Russian pianist Yefim Bronfman ("Fima" to his fans) is perhaps the only one who could take on two Beethoven piano concertos in one concert. And one of them is The Emperor! You won't want to miss this all-Beethoven extravaganza followed by three free signature sliders, fries and drink specials at the DLUX bar.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

I'M A FIRST-TIMER

If you are coming to Club 201 for the first time by yourself, don’t worry! You’ll be seated with other Club 201 guests, typically in the front rows of the balcony. Plan to arrive at Overture Hall about 20 minutes before the 7:30 PM performance. Your tickets will be waiting for you at the Overture Box Office Will-Call window.

AFTER THE CONCERT

You’ll take a short walk (or drive, if you prefer) to the party venue where you’ll meet your host Jonathan Suttin of 105.5 FM Triple M Radio. We’ll introduce you to some of the younger virtuosos of the MSO who love Club 201, and although we can’t make promises, our superstar guest artists have been known to come over to relax after the concert.

AT THE PARTY

You’ll be treated to free hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Check out the Club 201 Facebook page as the event approaches for more information. The parties usually begin around 9:30 PM and last until 11:30 or midnight. If you have friends who would like to join you for the party but can’t make the concert, they can purchase party tickets for $12 each by calling Chris at 608.257.3734, extension 222.

CLUB 201'S 2012-2013 SEASON SPONSOR

Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S. C. has been serving Madison and Milwaukee for more than 60 years with thriving law practices and a commitment to the community through employees who volunteer for and make contributions to worthy causes.

Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek chose to sponsor Club 201 for the first time last season because they saw a significant opportunity to help bring a new generation of concert-goers to the MSO. With the help of this sponsorship, Club 201 really took off last year, more than doubling the size of its events and garnering sell-out crowds for the first time. With the continued support of Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek, Club 201 hopes to double in size again this year, bringing even more young professionals together for Madison’s hottest cultural happenings.

Whyte Hirschboeck is proud to partner with the MSO for Club 201. To have a symphony of this caliber in a community of our size is phenomenal,” said their representative in a recent interview. “The world-renowned guest artists we attract are a testament to what the MSO, John DeMain and our community of supporters have achieved. As a result, we're delighted to help entice a new generation of concert-goers.”
