The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performs at the Holiday Pops Concert to benefit West Bend COLUMNS Scholarship Foundation

Holiday Pops Concert

COLUMNS is pleased to bring the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra to West Bend for the annual Holiday Pops Concert. This concert is a wonderful way to start the holiday season, with outstanding professional musicians, great music, and a holiday sing-along with the orchestra. It’s been a community tradition for more than 50 years.

Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor who sponsored the concert, all proceeds from ticket sales will be used for scholarships for students graduating from the West Bend public high schools.

DATE: Tuesday, December 16
TIME: 7:30pm (Doors open at 6:45pm)
PLACE: Silver Lining Arts Center – northeast corner of the West Bend High Schools at 1305 E. Decorah Rd.
