Every Stage” begins with your generosity...

Music for Every Stage

The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music is your community music school. We believe that a high quality music education should be accessible to all who desire it. To that end, we have provided the following programs and services this year:

We believe that music education helps the children and youth of the greater Milwaukee area to excel in school, which serves to keep them enrolled in school. We believe that the earlier children are introduced to music the stronger their cognition and communication skills will be. We believe music education teaches empathy. We believe that continuing to be involved with music throughout your life keeps you young, and that playing a musical instrument or singing keeps your brain active. We believe that music should be accessible to all and a part of each child’s education.

If you believe as we do, please support us by contributing to the Annual Fund. Your gift will ensure that we can deliver outstanding musical instruction and performances to adults, children and youth. Please consider an additional gift to our Tuition Assistance program as more and more of our students are in need of financial aid.

For additional information please contact Karen Deschere or Brenda Hughes; 414/276-5760. You may donate online at wcmusic.org.

Thank you!

Mathieu Dufour, flute Praised as “a marvel” by the Chicago Sun-Times, French flutist Mathieu Dufour is one of the most enchanting and breathtaking musicians of his generation.

Since then, he has performed numerous times as soloist with the Chicago Symphony. Under the direction of Daniel Barenboim, his performances of Mozart’s G major concerto in at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Bach’s Second Suite at the Philharmonie in Berlin earned him rave reviews. After a solo performance at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland; a critic wrote, “the ornate solo lines unfurled like yard upon yard of fine embroidered silk.” As soloist, Mr. Dufour has performed with conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Christoph Eschenbach, David Robertson, Fabio Luisi, and Nicholas McGegan. Of a recent performance of Nielsen’s Flute Concerto with the Chicago Symphony, the Chicago Tribune wrote, “Throughout the concerto he confirmed his uncanny mastery of color and dynamics, filling the hall with a vibrant, crystalline sound.”Mr. Dufour performs concertos and recitals every year in Japan. He has performed recitals in major halls in Tokyo and concertos with the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra and the Hiroshima Symphony. As chamber musician, he has collaborated with Mitsuko Uchida, Pinchas Zukerman,
