30 years ago in Milwaukee, Present Music performed their first concert and the Shepherd Express published their first issue. On January 7, we celebrate.
For the first time in Present Music history, the audience has chosen the music. Through online voting, six contemporary music selections were chosen – from hauntingly beautiful to fun and quirky – the top voted choices will be revealed at the concert.
Present Music will perform, Souvenir by Donald Erb, an audience participation, multi-media, glow-in-the-dark extravaganza for the senses complete with neon dancers, ping pong balls and weather balloons. No rehearsal required – just get your ticket for the concert! The Present Music ensemble will perform with 15 pre-selected audience members in Souvenir. These performers will be placed throughout Turner Hall to create sound effects with their instrument of choice .
