If you're between the ages of 21 and 39 and you like your classical music with a twist, Club 201 is for you. We pair fantastic concerts with exciting gatherings at great downtown venues for a season of experiences you'll love. Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C. once again presents a season of events to get you tuned in and Madison MAGNET is back as well.

Club 201 members receive an amazing discount of up to 60% off the price of single tickets to the MSO's subscription concerts. Each event is just $25 and includes a discounted concert ticket and the after-concert party. Buy all four events and you'll receive a FREE copy of the MSO's latest CD release, Overtures from Overture Hall.

Celebrate a stunning season premiere as the MSO welcomes legendary pianist Peter Serkin to play Brahms’ exhilarating Piano Concerto No. 1. Beethoven opens the festivities and Richard Strauss’ monumental tone poem Death and Transfiguration sets the stage for Serkin. We’ll gather at Brocach Irish Pub after the concert for appetizers and a beer tasting by the stellar brewers at Ale Asylum. A new Club 201 Classic!

The original Club 201 hit, our Holiday Party begins with John DeMain’s signature celebration, the Christmas Spectacular. Soprano Sylvia McNair co-hosts as the Madison Symphony Chorus, the Madison Youth Choirs and the Mt. Zion Gospel Choir join in for an evening that will set your holiday spirits soaring. The Orpheum hosts the after-concert party with appetizers and a sampling of great cocktail specials.

Pinchas Zukerman and his wife, the brilliant cellist Amanda Forsyth bring you a sampling of exotically spiced selections, including Bruch’s Hebraic Kol Nidrei, Mozart’s “Turkish” violin concerto and Saint-Saëns’ quintessentially French apéritif, The Muse and the Poet. The main course will be Saint-Saëns’ majestic Organ Symphony. Then we’ll rendezvous on the rooftop at fresco for appetizers and a sampling of special cocktails.

Three of the great Russian masters will make this a season finale to remember. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture sets the stage for one of the truly astonishing works for piano: Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Then Metropolitan Opera Bass-Baritone will embody the doomed Czar Boris Godunov. The after-concert delights include seafood selections and organic vodka at Ocean Grill.
