A special night of gallery art and exquisite music will be on tap at Nicolet College Thursday, Feb. 9, when the college hosts both the opening reception for the Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) art exhibit followed by a concert featuring the Wingra Woodwind Quintet.

"We're excited that everything came together so we could hold both of these events back to back," Nicolet Theatre and Events Services manager Mike Effinger said in a press release announcing the attractions. "It's sure to make for a great evening for people to immerse themselves in the arts and enjoy the experience."

The WRAP opening reception, which is free to attend, will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Nicolet College Art Gallery located in the Northwoods Center.

The event will give attendees the chance to meet the artists, view the eclectic collection of their art, and enjoy light hors d'eouvres and beverages.

Regional WRAP exhibits are held throughout the state with the best pieces from each show selected for the Annual State Art Exhibit in Madison.

Then at 7:30 p.m., the acclaimed Wingra Woodwind Quintet will take to the stage in the Nicolet College Theatre for a lively concert that will balance classical works with contemporary and cross-cultural compositions. The quintet tours nationally, receiving acclaim from the New York Times for its "consistently sophisticated, sensitive, and thoroughly vital" performances.

Since 1965, the ensemble-in-residence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music has earned the reputation of a musically accessible, dynamic, and artistically excellent ensemble. Current members are Conor Nelson, flute; Lindsay Flowers, oboe; Alicia Lee, clarinet; Marc Vallon, bassoon; and Trevor Healy, horn.

Tickets are $15 and can be ordered online at nicoletcollege.edu/community/nicolet-live.
