SUMMARY:WURKestra - MAMA Instrument Drive in Partnership with HEID Music
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate 10 years of Wurk with their most ambitious capstone project yet: WURKestra! Debuting live at the historic Barrymore Theatre\, this powerhouse event pairs Madison’s own 6-piece funk-fusion band with the 17-piece DB Orchestra for an unforgettable night of music benefiting the Madison Area Music Association (MAMA). \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Friday\, October 16\, 2026\nVenue: Historic Barrymore Theatre\, Madison\, WI\nDoors Open: 7:00 PM\nShowtime: 8:00 PM (Promptly)\n\nAbout the Show & WURKestra Project\nConcertgoers can expect over two hours of bold\, brassy interpretations of Wurk originals\, innovative reimaginings of popular covers\, and brand-new pieces created specifically for the WURKestra. The project combines Wurk with the DB Orchestra’s massive 17-piece big band setup—loaded with trumpets\, trombones\, saxophones\, percussion\, and sousaphone. \nConceived by saxophonist Daniel Haschke (a member of both groups):\n“I’ve always been inspired by unique musical collaborations\, especially when popular artists work with big orchestras. I realized that all of the pieces were in place for me and my bandmates to craft a truly one-of-a-kind experience.” \nAbout the Artists\nWurk: Formed in Madison in 2016 and voted the 2019 and 2022 MAMA Artist of the Year\, Wurk is a 6-piece funk-fusion group inspired by Umphrey’s McGee\, Snarky Puppy\, Lettuce\, and Phish. They seamlessly blend funk grooves with progressive rock\, pop\, and jam rock. \nThe DB Orchestra: Led by Andy Kerber\, this ensemble has spent over a decade blending jazz swing\, doo-wop\, Dixieland\, and rock ‘n’ roll. With nearly 20 musicians\, their hot horns and driving drums deliver the intensity of a marching band mixed with the flair of classic jazz ensembles. \nTicket Pricing & Perk Discounts\n\nAdvance Tickets: $30\nDay of Show: $40\nStudent Tickets: $25 (Save $5 with code WURKSTUDENT)\nInstrument Donor Perk: Save $10 on tickets plus receive a first-drink discount when you donate an instrument in advance at Heid Music.\n\nMAMA Instrument Drive: Get Funky.
