MiLO performs twice more in April:

Wednesday, April 17, 7:30 pm
UWM Fine Arts Recital Hall
2400 E. Kenwood Boulevard, Milwaukee, WI

Saturday, April 20, 11 am
Kenilworth Square East Open Studios (room 620 - 6th floor)
1925 E. Kenilworth Place, Milwaukee, WI

The April 17 show reprises one of our favorite concert formats - improvising in a number of duo, trio, and quartet configurations, and then playing a concluding set with the complete ensemble onstage. April 20 will emphasize large-ensemble improvisation, and feature spectacular views of Lake Michigan from the Kenilworth building’s top floor. Both performances are free of admission - hope to see you there….
