French Horn Holiday Flash Mob scheduled to appear at South Milwaukee Christmas Market - December 6th

Horn players wanted. The popular Appleton-based Horns a Plenty Christmas continues their holiday tradition of bringing large groups of horn players together to perform seasonal music in public venues. The concerts raise money for high school music scholarships. The free concert will be at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center.

Horns a Plenty Christmas was founded in 2001 by Donald Krause, a private horn teacher from Neenah, WI as a way to bring local horn players together from the Northeast Wisconsin area to play holiday music in public venues such as malls, nursing homes, and concert halls. In 2009, Horns a Plenty Christmas went national and currently hosts events during the month of December throughout the United States, frequently with upwards of 80 horn players participating. Started in 2009, the Horns a Plenty Christmas Scholarship Fund takes the proceeds from the national events and awards scholarships to high school horn players continuing with music in college.

Horn players of all ages and abilities are welcome at any Horns a Plenty Christmas event and local horn teachers and players are encouraged to start one in their respective area.

On that same day, the concert will be held adjacent to the popular South Milwaukee Christmas Market. The Market organizers are pleased to offer an interactive music experience for musicians, shoppers and the community. “We are absolutely excited to be able to showcase our Performing Arts Center to more musicians and cross-promote our Christmas Market,” stated Market Chair, Carol Rehak. “We are looking forward to this event.”
