Coffee Concert Series Now in Third Year at UW-River Falls

December 4, 2015 -- An annual Friday noon Coffee Concert Series held at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is now midway through its third year. The series features performances by UW-River Falls music faculty as well as guest artists from around the world.

This year the series has been named the Frances Cohler Coffee Concert Series in memory of New Richmond resident and music alumna Fran (McNamara) Cohler, '74. Naming of the series has been made possible through a generous donation from Mary Ella Jerome and her family foundation, to honor their life-long friendship and shared love of music that started at UW-River Falls.

The concerts, held at noon on select Fridays throughout the academic year, are free and open to the public. The hour-long performances are followed by coffee and treats and time to visit with faculty and guest musicians.

The final concert for the semester will be held Friday, Dec. 11, featuring Harmen Vanhoone (trumpet).
