Season Premiere We begin our season ablaze! It’s Beethoven’s hottest symphony with Kevin McChesney’s Ring of Fire. The Seventh Symphony of Beethoven is the most driving, intense, and daring music he ever wrote. Couple that with McChesney’s innovative music, returning by popular demand. The Chamber Orchestra and Pikes Peak Ringers gave the first performances of Ring of Fire to packed halls and the made the world premier recording. This is a “must see” event. Ancient Airs, Timeless Grace This is the most tuneful concert of the year. We are
joined by two talented couples: David and Kelly Zuercher, Alex and Azi
Viera. The elegance and grace of Vivaldi, Telemann, and Purcell bring us
music that sounds as though it were plucked from heaven. Essential to these
concerts is a rare opportunity to hear Mozart’s final piano concerto and
Respighi’s brilliantly orchestrated Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite I. The Chamber Orchestra and the Conservatory: Together! The Colorado Springs Conservatory has some of the most talented students and faculty in our community. Together, we have presented four of Menotti’s quirky, fun operas. The Boy Who Grew Too Fast is both riotously funny and inspiring—a delight for children of all ages. Add to that Copland’s Music for Movies and Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson sung by Judeth Shay Burns and you have a concert event that you can’t miss. Local Flair, International Fare Colorado Springs hosts one of the finest competitions for amateur pianists in the world. Don’t let the word “amateur” fool you; these are emerging artists of the highest caliber, and you get to hear them first. Kensuke Ota is the 2007 winner of Amateur Pianists International, performing Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto. The concert also features a world premier by local composer and arts writer Mark Arnest, inspired by our Garden of the Gods. With additional masterworks by Haydn and Clementi, you can’t go wrong! Season Finale The Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale is our special guest in a rare performance of Faure’s timeless and haunting Requiem. Emerging soloist Desiree Cedeno-Suarez, recently named a Shivers Foundation artist, tackles Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. If we began our season on fire, we end with joy and inspiration. This is music for all time—a good beginning for the next 25 years. Season Tickets can be reserved By either sending the attached form to COS, P.O. Box 7911, C. S.
