Music Engagement and Outreach Program
A component of the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Music, the Music Engagement and Outreach Program works to share the expertise of its three faculty ensembles‐in‐residence with young musicians and community audiences around the state. Comprising world-renown performers and educators, the Pro Arte Quartet, Wingra Wind Quintet, and Wisconsin Brass Quintet bring their experience and musical mastery beyond the university walls. Each ensemble travels throughout Wisconsin to high schools, colleges, and concert halls, working with young musicians and performing for local concert series patrons and provides mentoring, educational leadership, and training opportunities to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Outcomes
Faculty members have traveled to over 200 cities and towns throughout Wisconsin and given over 800 concerts and high school clinics since the inception of the program in 1981. Faculty continue to make connections and form relationships with hundreds of high school students, educators, and community members annually, sharing their expertise and artistry with communities around the state.
