The Pabst Theater’s 2009 Artist Series is shining the spotlight on the “stars of the MSO,” including an April 28th performance by TETNA resident, Jeanyi Kim. Violinist Kim is the Associate Concertmaster (Third Chair) of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and the Concertmaster of the Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra.

The spring performance will begin with the violinist’s solos with piano accompaniment. The Philomusica – violinists Kim and Alexander Mandl, violist Nathan Hackett and cellist Adrien Zitoun – will play the second half. Kim recently formed the Philomusica String Quartet, which resides at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.

The program begins at 7PM at the Pabst, 144 E. Wells St. All single-ticket seats are $20, reserved. Tickets are on sale now, visit the Pabst Theater website or call the Pabst box office at (414) 286-3663.

Thursday, January 22, 2009 • 5:00-7:00PM
Garden Room at Hart Park

In November, the Wauwatosa’s Common Council appointed funds for a study on economic development for the city. The City of Wauwatosa has partnered with Ryan Horton and URS Corporation to analyze current economic development efforts in Wauwatosa and to recommend an organizational structure for economic development activities in the City.

A round-table discussion to address the concerns of small businesses and community groups in Wauwatosa is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2009, from 5:00 until 7:00pm and will take place in the Garden Room at Hart Park, located at 7300 Chestnut Street, Wauwatosa, WI 53213. Note: this meeting was originally scheduled for December but was rescheduled due to bad weather.

The meeting is being held as an informal discussion. There will be two tables set up: one for small business interests and one for community groups. Feel free to drop in at any time and to stay as long as you want.

Information is being gathered to learn about how the city’s development process can be improved, to determine future opportunities for economic development, and to provide information about the scope of the planning process.

Consider attending this important meeting that can especially impact the east Tosa area. Your input is very valuable to this process and to Wauwatosa’s future.

Meetings are informal and relaxed. The association meetings not only provide an opportunity for residents to build camaraderie through social event planning; it is also an opportunity to develop proactive approaches to specific needs or concerns within our neighborhood.
