Take a break from the heat and bustle and step into the cool expanse of Overture Hall for a free 45-minute concert during the Dane County Farmers Market this summer. Bring your family and friends and come as you are! MSO Principal Organist and Curator Samuel Hutchison is joined by pianist Stephen Nielson in June and by Andrew Balio, principal trumpet of the Baltimore Symphony, in August. Balio is a graduate of West High School and a former member of WYSO. He also served as principal trumpet with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta for several seasons before being appointed in Baltimore.
