The Gufs kick off a four-concert series with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra tonight at Boerner Botanical Gardens. The 7 p.m. show is free.
All four concerts (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday) take place in Milwaukee County Parks and are part of The Gufs' 20th anniversary.
The shows were inspired by the group's 2006 disc "A Different Sea." On it, a few tracks were mixed with string arrangements performed by select MSO musicians.
The concerts feature The Gufs' songs and orchestral classics from movies and signature composers.
The shows should create a cool sound and attract a new audience for the symphony.
"This year's unique collaboration with the Gufs allows the MSO to reach new audiences who like to hear classical music with a twist, " says Jenna Kashou, corporate relations manager at the MSO.
The gigs:
Wednesday, June 25 -- Boerner Botanical Gardens, 7 p.m.
Thursday, June 26 -- Milwaukee Lakefront (just north of the Brady Street foot bridge), 8:30 p.m.
Friday, June 27 -- Washington Park, 7 p.m.
Sunday, June 29 -- Milwaukee County Zoo, 2:30 p.m.
700 N. Water St.
Milwaukee, WI 53202

OMC: how do I post something like "Not A Guffs Fan Either" where my screen name is not hyperlinked to a user profile? Not A Guffs Fan Either: I have no idea what you are trying to say, is that directed at me, or are you drunk?

You are a conspiracy theorist when it comes to anyone voicing their critical opinion about the Milwaukee arts scene. Your immediate reaction is that is has to be Mike Brenner. Give Brenner his props. He has done more for musicians and artists than most. Still there are those who attend a few music shows or art gallery openings and have the gall consider themselves embedded in the arts and music scene. Try putting yourself on the line when you actually have something to lose when it comes to supporting the arts. Blogging is for exerting such thing things as opinion which you seem to do quite a bit in your blogs. And yet when someone disagrees with you- suddenly they do not have a right to voice their opinion? Tsk. Tsk. I am not a fan of the Gufs either. I really dislike their music, but am glad they are getting a chance to team up with MSO.

MKEGUILD sounds like the musical version of Mike Brenner. Why do people like this think its their job to tell us what good taste is?

I think it's a fantastic idea. I heard a preview of the collaboration between the Gufs and the MSO and it sounded very cool. Kudos to both of them and to the park system for the free concert series. And by the way, Hot 102.1 was a rap station back in the day. FM 102.1 is the rock station.
