Victorian holiday music will be featured in a concert sponsored by the Friends of the UW–Madison Libraries as part of its Performance Series.

The concert is scheduled at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 1, Mills Hall, Humanities Building, 455 N. Park St.

The event features renowned pianist Trevor Stephenson on his own 1873 English grand piano. He will be accompanied by violinist Jesús Florido.
