Schweitzer (aka Allison Emm, in “the business”) has taken on the position as the new Director of Choral Music at Pius XI. This concert is a special showcase to both introduce her to the Pius XI community, and to continue with WMV’s mission of helping independent musicians to thrive in Wisconsin. Opening for RB will be local Rockabilly artist Bruce Humphries, and Mrs. Schweitzer may make a guest musical appearance.
