We're excited to announce a special, invitation-only performance by cellist, singer, and composer Anna Fritz! An alumna of the String Academy from the 1990s, Anna is now based in Portland, Oregon. She has composed an original score for a modern retelling of an Ancient Greek epic, performed alongside a single actor. They've been sharing this powerful work with audiences in prisons and public venues across the country.

📅 Date: Saturday, October 5th
⏰ Time: 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Milwaukee Friends Meetinghouse in Riverwest

Admission is pay what you will. Since this is a private event requiring an invitation for entry, please email [email protected] to request an invite.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience Anna's incredible talent in an intimate setting. Hope to see you there!
