A Note From Carl Davick:
We are so looking forward to playing in the park on Tuesday. As I try to do every year, the concert will feature an eclectic selection of light classics of different styles and genres. A few highlights for the night will include: Mozart’s Divertimento in F, which is a delightful piece most likely written for an evening of lighter music for the leading residents of Salzburg; The Old Boatman by Florence Price. It’s a beautiful, lyrical piece by Price, who is recognized as the first African American woman to have a composition performed by a major symphony orchestra; for our Disney fans, we will be playing selections from the classic movie, Ratatouille which will transport the listeners to Paris, France; We will also pay homage to the great musical theater composer, Stephen Sondheim with an absolutely stunning arrangement of his Send in the Clowns.
These are just a few of the musical treats that will be performed on Tuesday by my wonderful friends.
Monona’s Mark Croft and his band will perform for the Summer Concerts Series!
Tuesday, August 2nd, 6:30-8:00 PM Food Carts: Pa Pa’s BBQ, Jolly Frog, Kona Ice Monona’s Traveling Biergarten will be there!
The Mark Croft Band is bringing their music to the Summer Concerts! They always put on a great show, and this year is sure to be no exception. Make sure to come out and enjoy some great music under the stars!
Lo Marie, a multi-award-winning and recording artist, born and raised right here in Monona, is ready to throw it down with her band on the Monona Music Scene! You can expect a brilliant multi-genre show that you don’t want to miss!
Lo just dropped her fourth studio album of original music this spring titled “The Bar” and is gearing up for another national tour this fall. Come early and enjoy National Night out, have some food, drink, and enjoy the music.
