Maestro Musings

In addition to providing Northern Colorado with fine, symphonic music, education has been, and will continue to be a mainstay of the Symphony's mission. With that in mind, one hour prior to every Masterworks performance, we present Maestro Musings.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the performance venue, Maestro Kenney will give an informative pre-concert talk on the upcoming program, including information on that evening's guest soloist as well as illuminating discussion of the repertoire and the composers who composed it.

Maestro Musings enrich the concert-going experience by providing attendees with additional information that increases their knowledge and understanding of the music they will experience. It's like having your own private tour guide before every fantastic Masterworks performance.
