2011 - 2012 Concerts

Fur and Flying Feathers, our Family Pops Series

Saturday January 28, 2012 @ 7:30 pm

Young Artist Competition Winner
Longmont Youth Symphony
David Rutherford - Conductor

We are pleased to present guest conductor David Rutherford as he leads the LSO and the Longmont Youth Symphony in a fascinating exploration of how cats and birds have prominently figured into our classical repertoire.  Maestro Rutherford is no stranger to our stage … he was one of the baseball announcers at a Family Pops concert two years ago.  The concert has something for all ages, from the Carnival of the Animals, Stravinsky’s Firebird, to a concerto written for a cat!  Yes, it’s true, the soloist is a cat…. you’ll just have to see it to believe it.

We also present the winner of our annual Young Artist Competition on this concert.  It is truly inspiring to witness the achievements of our youth on our stage, and Longmont has produced numerous internationally acclaimed musicians.  Perhaps you’ll hear the next one on this very concert?

This is the perfect concert to bring your family.  Great music that is entertaining , inspirational and fun
