Join WPR for live classical music by Peter J. Thomas at the Milwaukee Art Museum! Enjoy an evening of timeless classics, reimagined pop favorites, and great company amidst the Museum’s iconic architecture, with a pop-up bar open before and during the performance. This unique celebration of art and music is brought to the community by WPR and the Museum as part of Thursday Nights at MAM, the Museum’s weekly evening of art, music, and pay-what-you-wish admission. Bring a friend or the whole family and celebrate local music while supporting two of Wisconsin’s cultural institutions.

Peter J. Thomas is a member of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and has performed around the world as a multi-genre soloist, clinician, educator, and chamber musician. Peter enjoys the life of being a music ambassador and strives to spread awareness of the arts in the community through his many outlets. Peter performs on a fine English cello, circa 1813, by maker Thomas Kennedy. Also performing on an electric cello, playing pop covers along with vocals, Peter regularly performs a wide range of music outside of the symphony at solo shows or alongside various bands around the city of Milwaukee.

The Art Museum opens at 4 p.m. with live music starting at 5 p.m.
