2009-2010 EVENTS
Rendezvous on the Rooftop was a BLAST!
After what the press described as the not-to-be-missed concert of the season, with Pinchas Zukerman and Amanda Forsyth, Club 201 headed to the rooftop restaurant fresco, which is perched on top of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. There, in addition to tasty hors d'oeuvres and a special cocktail sampling, we were treated to a visit by Maestro John DeMain, who stopped in to say hello and ended up having so much fun, he stayed all evening!
Order tickets by noon on Wed April 14.
Three of the great Russian Masters will make this a season finale to remember. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture sets the stage for one of the truly astonishing works for piano: Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Then Metropolitan Opera Bass-Baritone will embody the doomed Czar Boris Godunov. The after-concert delights include seafood selections and organic vodka at Ocean Grill.
What Should I Expect at Club 201?
If you are coming to Club 201 for the first time by yourself, don’t worry! You’ll be seated with other Club 201 guests, typically in the front rows of the balcony. Plan to arrive at Overture Hall about 20 minutes before the 7:30 PM performance. Your tickets will be waiting for you at the Overture Box Office Will-Call window.
After the Concert
You’ll take a short walk (or drive, if you prefer) to the party venue where you’ll meet your hosts Jonathan Suttin of Triple M Radio and Abby Ballain of the MSO. We’ll introduce you to some of the younger virtuosos of the MSO who love Club 201, and although we can’t make promises, our young superstar guest artists have been known to come over to relax after the concert.
At the Party
You’ll be treated to free hors d’oeuvres and Club 201 drink specials along with a complimentary beer, wine or cocktail tasting. Check out the Club 201 Facebook page as the event approaches for more information. The parties usually begin around 9:30 PM and last until 11:30 or midnight. If you have friends who would like to join you for the party but can’t make the concert, they can purchase party tickets for $12 each by calling Chris at 608.257.3734.

Our Sponsor
Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C. once again presents a season of events to get you tuned in.
Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S. C. has been serving Madison and Milwaukee for more than 60 years with thriving law practices and a commitment to the community through employees who volunteer for and make contributions to worthy causes.
Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek chose to sponsor Club 201 for the first time last season because they saw a significant opportunity to help bring a new generation of concert-goers to the MSO. With the help of this sponsorship, Club 201 really took off last year, more than doubling the size of its events and garnering sell-out crowds for the first time. With the continued support of Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek, Club 201 hopes to double in size again this year, bringing even more young professionals together for Madison’s hottest cultural happenings.
Whyte Hirschboeck is proud to partner with the MSO for Club 201. To have a symphony of this caliber in a community of our size is phenomenal,” said their representative in a recent interview. “The world-renowned guest artists we attract are a testament to what the MSO, John DeMain and our community of supporters have achieved. As a result, we're delighted to help entice a new generation of concert-goers.”
