Jeremy Daniel Infusion Baroque, based in Montreal, will bring a mystery along with their music to the Early Music Now 30h anniversary finale Saturday. Submitted photo MILWAUKEE — A little of the NFL will come to the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts when "Chicago" arrives, but don't expect the Bears. Former running back Eddie George will play Billy Flynn in his Broadway tour- ing show debut. George has appeared in such works as Matthew Lopez's "The Whipping Man" (Nashville Repertory Theatre) and in the title roles of "Othello" and "Julius Caesar" at the Nashville Shakespeare Festival. After his NFL career, he provided commentary and analysis for the Tennessee Titans and Fox's college football cover- age. The 1995 Heisman Trophy winner has appeared in films, including "The Game Plan," and TV, as well as founding Edward George Wealth Management Group after receiving his master's in business from Northwestern University. The production will be at the Marcus Center April 25 through April 30. For more information, including tick- ets, visit marcuscenter.org or call 414-273-7206. MILWAUKEE — Winners of the National Baroque Performance Competition in its Milwaukee debut, Early Music Now concludes its 30th anniversary season on April 22 by presenting yet another Milwaukee debut perform- ance, the third in this sea- son's exploration of music spanning almost 15 centuries. Winners of the Grand Prize and Audience Prize at the 2014 Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition, Montreal-based Infusion Baroque has been described as "dynamic and alive." Its Milwaukee program — "Who Killed Leclair?" — is an evening of music, mystery, and intrigue, based on actual police reports of the unsolved death of French composer Jean-Marie Leclair, who was found murdered in his home Oct. 23, 1764. The program includes several of Leclair's trio sonatas. The ensemble Infusion Baroque includes Alexa Raine-Wright (baroque flute and recorder), Sallynee Amawat (baroque violin), Andrea Stewart (baroque cello) and Rona Nadler (harp- sichord). Infusion Baroque will pres- ent the facts of the case and the testimony of the suspects between performances of music by Leclair and Guignon, as well as by Jean- Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville (1711-1772) and Pietro Antonio Locatelli (1695-1764). This 7:30 p.m. concert will be proceeded by an artist's lecture at 6:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Tickets are available for Tier 2 and Tier 3 seating. For ticket information, visit EarlyMusicNow.org or call 414-225-3113. Summerfest continued to announce its musical lineup for its 50th anniversary this past week.
