A Renaissance for Everyone - The Milwaukee Symphony Center
Now is the time to play your part! Visit mso.org/grand to give and learn more about our Grand future.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is in the process of restoring and renovating the historic Warner Grand Theater on West Wisconsin Avenue. Thanks to the support of many close friends and donors whose generosity helped us act when the opportunity arose, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra will have a permanent home for the first time. In one move, Milwaukee can accomplish economic and neighborhood redevelopment along West Wisconsin Avenue, restore the Historic Warner Grand Theater to its former glory, and establish a dedicated home for the Milwaukee Symphony.
With the Warner Grand Theater, we have the one elegant solution that can make it all possible—but renovating and restoring our new home and realizing our vision depends on your support.

The Milwaukee Violin Heist
This story is part of a longer interview recorded for the Rosin the Bow project. rosinthebow.org. Just after midnight on a bitterly cold winter night in 2014 Frank Almond, concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony, was confronted by a man in a parking lot after a concert. The man used a taser to knock Frank to the ground and steal his violin. The instrument was made in 1715 by Antonio Stradivari and is known as the “Lipinski.” Captain Jeff Point, head of the homicide division of the Milwaukee Police Department, teamed up with special agent David Bass, a member of the FBI’s art theft unit, to apprehend the culprit and recover the violin. The story is followed by Frank Almond performing on the Lipinski Strad the first movement of the Sonata in G minor Il trillo del Diavolo by Giuseppe Tartini 1692-1770.
Rosin the Bow explores the many roles the violin family of instruments play in the world today through a series of public radio programs, podcasts, and a comprehensive oral history archived by the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History. Traveling throughout the United States and other parts of the world, storyteller, fiddler, and award-winning radio journalist Joe McHugh and his wife Paula McHugh seek out interviews with violin makers, dealers, restorers, auctioneers, tone wood producers, insurance agents, museum curators, rosin makers, bow hair importers, string manufacturers—even police officers who have played a part in recovering stolen violins. The McHughs also interview gifted musicians who perform a variety of musical genres from classical and folk to jazz and rock.
