Concerts on the Square

The series consists of six concerts on Wednesday evenings with a rain date of Thursday in the case of inclement weather.

As a smaller ensemble, the WCO is able to showcase music at an intimate level, providing attendees with a unique experience.

The WCO is driven in their mission to strengthen communities through innovative, high-quality artistic experiences that entertain, inspire, and unite diverse audiences.

Core artistic programs include the four-decade tradition of Concerts on the Square®, the Masterworks Series at the Overture Center for the Arts, annual performances of Handel’s Messiah, educational programming and concerts for families and children that serve over 2000 youth each year and performing with local arts groups like Madison Ballet.

Working with Nehemiah, Inc. through the Catalyst Incubator Grant with LOAO, their goal is to become a cultural ambassador to Madison while creating relationships that allow for authentic conversation, partnerships, and accessibility to musical experiences.
