WHITEWATER — Madyson King from Darlington, who is studying Social Work at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, will perform in the university’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble during the 2025-26 academic year.

King is an Alto for the group, which includes 22 student musicians.

Vocal Jazz Ensemble is a small, select group that performs swing, jazz, and musical theatre repertoire. The group is open to all university students by audition and tours annually with the Chamber Singers.

The group will perform at UW-Whitewater’s Gala Concert, an annual tradition that features nearly every student ensemble in the university’s Department of Music. All proceeds from the event support the department’s scholarships.

UW-Whitewater’s Department of Music, a part of the College of Arts and Communication, prepares students for a future of performance, composing, teaching, and other music-related roles. The university’s musical ensembles play in famous venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York City, Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Symphony Center in Chicago, and at venues in Germany, Poland and England.
