FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 24, 2024
Green Bay, Wis. – The Weidner Philharmonic is pleased to announce the line-up of concerts for the 2024-2025 season. Tickets for all concerts in the series start at $25 and go on-sale Friday, July 26 at 10 AM at WeidnerCenter.com.
Under the artistic direction of Michelle McQuade Dewhirst, PhD, Green Bay’s sole professional symphony orchestra will kick-off the season on September 28 with a signature concert entitled, Express Yourself, a symphonic ode to freedom of expression with repertoire inspired by the power of using your voice. Express Yourself will conclude with a pop-up dance performance under the Chihuly Chandelier in The Weidner’s lobby by renowned tap artist Jumaane Taylor, artistic director of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project.
Further series highlights include Weidner Philharmonic’s collaboration with The Dudley Birder Chorale of St. Norbert College on a re-imagined (and retitled) Holiday Pops at The Weidner – and the continuing annual tradition of presenting The Nutcracker at The Weidner with our partners at Northeastern Wisconsin Dance Organization (NEWDO).
The series will wrap up in April of 2025 with The Sky Is Not The Limit – a signature program inspired by the boundlessness of the sky and the human condition. Weidner Philharmonic musicians will be joined by Youth Symphony of St. Norbert College for the final piece of the concert.

Express Yourself

The concert season opens with program exploring freedom of expression and examining the power of using our voices to share our truth and be the change we want to see in the world. We will peek behind the covers of a banned book and celebrate the spirit of individuals who have fought to overcome physical obstacles, racial prejudice, and oppressive political regimes to speak their minds with the world – no matter what.
