The 2020 Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra – On Stage radio series features performances led by music director Ken-David Masur, music director laureate Edo de Waart as well as guest conductors from around the globe. Soloists on the series include Nicolas Namoradze (piano), Augustin Hadelich (violin), Jorge Federico Osorio (piano), Anthony Marwood (violin), Simone Lamsma (violin), Timothy McAllister (saxophone), Orion Weiss (piano), Sergei Babayan (piano), Joyce Yang (piano) and Johannes Moser (cello) as well as MSO musicians Todd Levy (clarinet) and Sonora Slocum (flute).

The MSO is a pioneer among American orchestras. The orchestra has performed world and American premieres of works by John Adams, Roberto Sierra, Phillip Glass, Geoffrey Gordon, Marc Neikrug, and Matthias Pintscher. In 2005, the MSO gained national recognition as the first American orchestra to offer live recordings on iTunes, and continues to offer over forty albums available for download.

A cornerstone of Milwaukee’s art community, and as Wisconsin’s largest cultural organization, the MSO provides enrichment and education activities for audiences of every age, economic status, and background. The MSO’s education and outreach programs are among the most highly regarded of any American symphony and locally reach over 40,000 children and their families through initiatives such as Youth & Teen Concerts, Meet the Music pre-concert talks, Friday Evening Post-Concert Talkbacks, and MSO Stars of Tomorrow. The Orchestra’s signature, nationally-acclaimed Arts in Community Education (ACE) program is the most comprehensive education initiative ever undertaken by an American orchestra and for over a quarter of a century has been the model program for countless U.S. orchestras.
