Wisconsin orchestra's ‘Davis & Dvořák’ dances into Capitol Theater

“Oliver Davis’ music is lyrical, lending itself to dance. 

‘It’s tuneful, it’s cerebral, it’s emotional,” said maestro Andrew Sewell, who leads the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra.  I’m very excited to see what Ja’s choreographed for it.’
