Such a fun night at the Florentine Opera’s Pasta & Puccini this past Saturday!

Great company, beautiful music, and incredible food. It really was one of those evenings where everything just came together. So grateful our team, the Phillips Ristau Group, could be part of it and support such a special event.

If you haven’t been to a Florentine Opera performance, we highly recommend it. Our arts community is something worth celebrating and supporting!

What an incredible evening supporting the Milwaukee Ballet. Was surrounded by friends, family and colleagues (who are also friends ;)). Everyone stepped up to support the artistic and community impact that the Milwaukee Ballet makes to Milwaukee. We are blessed to have such an incredible organization as part of our Milwaukee artistic ecosystem.
