Coulee Region Festival of Arts Began With 3 Musicians in 1960
In 1960 two local musicians Frank Italiano and Marvin Quinn started a summer concert series in La Crosse. The first Music Under the Stars featured a 60 piece symphony at Myrick Park. Over the years workshop enrollment grew from 17 to 250, with new arts programs and venues added. The festival evolved from a symphony to a broader arts festival still nonprofit, with funds raised locally and a budget that turned black by 1968.
