The Wauwatosa Community Band will be presenting their Spring Concert on May 19th, 2026 at 7:30pm at our usual venue at Longfellow Middle School.
But you have never SEEN a concert like this.
The main attraction will be Pictures at an Exhibition, by Modeste Mussorgsky, which is a multi-movement work where each section is based on a different work of visual art. Oboist and graphic design genius Charlie Marsh has created an interactive media experience to accompany the band’s performance, which mean we actually WANT you to bring your phone or device, and WATCH them during our concert! You’ll SEE the paintings, PROMENADE thru the hallways, and READ tidbits of information about the paintings and music throughout our performance. So bring your phones or tablets with you! We’ll have some tech experts to help if you’ve never scanned a QR code before, but you can always just type in the address.
