The concert begins at 7:30 PM and will be in the very historic and beautiful sanctuary of First United Methodist Church, 121 Wisconsin Ave., Waukesha. The church, designed by Henry F. Starbuck, was built in the Romanesque architectural style in 1895. If you would like to sing with our choir, please contact our Director of Music for details, music, and a rehearsal schedule.
