On February 26, 2025, the Brookfield Central High School (BCHS) Chamber Choir had the distinct honor of performing alongside the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO) at the Bradley Symphony Center. This collaboration was part of MSO's annual Teen Choral Partners program, which showcases talented high school choirs from across Wisconsin. ​

Under the direction of conductor Ryan Tani, the concert, titled "Brilliant Bernstein," celebrated the works of the renowned American composer Leonard Bernstein. The program featured pieces such as the "Overture to Candide," "Chichester Psalms," and "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide. The BCHS Chamber Choir, led by their director Allison Hickmann, joined forces with choirs from Bay Port High School and Port Washington High School to deliver a performance that resonated with both passion and precision. ​

Participation in this event required a rigorous audition process, underscoring the exceptional talent and dedication of the BCHS Chamber Choir. Their involvement not only highlighted their musical prowess but also reflected the strong support for the arts within the Brookfield Central community.​

The collaboration provided students with an invaluable opportunity to perform in a professional setting, enriching their educational experience and fostering a deeper appreciation for orchestral and choral works. Such partnerships between educational institutions and professional ensembles play a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of musicians and arts advocates.​

Congratulations to the Brookfield Central High School Chamber Choir for their outstanding performance and for representing their school with distinction on such a prestigious platform.
