Waukesha County Approaching Autumn Peak Color…
Visit one of the top viewing locations in Waukesha’s backyard: Holy Hill!
“More than 500,000 people from all over the world visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, at Holy Hill each year. Some come to admire the beautiful architecture of the neo-Romanesque church built in 1926. Others make a pilgrimage to Holy Hill to worship, to meditate or to pray for healing. Regardless of what brings people to Holy Hill, they are bound to be touched by its peaceful environment and to be renewed in body, mind and spirit.”

Imperial Elegance
Waukesha Symphony begins their winter season with Rachmaninov's grandest concerto, the massive and spine-tingling "Rach 3," the subject of the movie Shine.

Our first half is a bouquet of gems from the late 19th century, from Dvorak's beloved Carnival to the riotous Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks of the young, rebellious Richard Strauss.  Carroll University, Shattuck Auditorium-- 7:30 -- www.waukeshasymphony.org -- 262-547-1858
