Three WYSO Ensembles

Three ensembles from the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras perform for us during The Midday. Norman talks with Madison Symphony cellist Karl Lavine who helps mentor members of the WYSO ensembles and orchestras who range from 13 to 18 years of age. Some of the WYSO ensembles and orchestras will be performing at the Bolz Family Spring Concerts on Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18, 2014 in Mills Concert Hall on the UW-Madison campus. Here are the pieces and performers played in our studios:
