Thanks to Milwaukee’s German and Eastern European heritages, choral singing has always been popular here. One of the choral groups on the scene for more than four decades is the Mastersingers of Milwaukee. They close out their season with a concert that features love in all of its many guises. Speak to Us of Love features music of Dowland, Monteverdi and Brahms, among others.
Eduardo Garcia-Novelli, the music director of the Mastersingers of Milwaukee, spoke with Bonnie North about the variety in this concert. "Its a melting pot, this concert,"he said.
The music isn't restricted to classical but includes a quartet version of Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. "It gave me so much freedom," Garcia-Novelli said.
The group closes out its 42nd seasonat the Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church on Sunday, May 22 at 4 pm.
