“River, Sea, and Symphony” Saturday, October 24, 2026, 2:00pm Festival City Symphony opens its 2026-2027 season with “River, Sea, and Symphony,” an inspiring afternoon of music celebrating the beauty and power of the natural world. The program begins with Bedřich Smetana’s beloved The Moldau, a vivid musical portrait tracing the famous Czech river from mountain springs to its majestic arrival in Prague. Completing the first half of the concert is Benjamin Britten’s dramatic Four Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes, which captures the ever-changing moods of the North Sea. The concert concludes with Jean Sibelius’s powerful Symphony No. 1, a work filled with sweeping melodies, bold orchestral colors, and the unmistakable spirit of Finland’s forests and lakes. Filled with breathtaking imagery and emotional depth, this program celebrates the beauty, power, and majesty of nature through three unforgettable orchestral masterpieces.

Homes in the Village and East Tosa often draw several offers, and buyers who prepare early have a real edge. Here are three things I tell every Wauwatosa buyer before they start touring.
1) Get pre-approved first. A pre-approval shows your real price range and makes your offer stronger. Most people need recent pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements and permission to check credit.
2) Budget for the whole payment, not just the price. Every $1,000 a year in property taxes adds about $83 a month to your payment. Many Tosa homes are older, so leave room for inspection items and updates.
3) You may need less down than you think. Conventional loans allow as little as 3% down for many first-time buyers, which is $10,500 on a $350,000 home. FHA loans allow 3.5% down, and VA loans may need $0 down for eligible veterans. Some City of Milwaukee buyer programs don't apply to homes in Wauwatosa, so check before you count on one.
Questions about your own numbers? Call or text me at (414) 975-2654, or see more on buying in Wauwatosa at <a href="https://adamzmortgageteam.com/mortgage-broker-wauwatosa-wi/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">adamzmortgageteam.com</a>.
