I know I'm biased, but I think the Longmont Symphony Orchestra provides a great mixture of wonderful music, great guest artists, and programs that are fit for young and old alike. We have a terrific program for you on this, our 44th season of the critically acclaimed Longmont Symphony Orchestra. Listen to Tchaikovsky pour his heart out in the hauntingly beautiful Pathetique Symphony, or if you prefer the powerful music statement made by the great Russian composers, sample Prokofieff's Fifth Symphony. If your preferences lie closer to home, we are opening the season with a salute to Latin American Independence that brings back one of the most popular solo artists we have ever featured, singer Dinorah, and closing the season with the Queen City Jazz Band, back by popular demand for their third time.
For our Family Pops concert, we are featuring "Famous Villains in Music", those good "bad" guys that composers have painted musically, such as Billy the Kid, and the Phantom of the Opera. Whatever you do, don't miss the April concert where we present "Pavarotti's favorite soprano", Longmont's own Cynthia Lawrence, singing the magically beautiful Four Last Songs of Strauss. Be sure to bring your family to this concert because we are also performing two pieces everyone loves, the Lt. Kije Suite and Pictures at an Exhibition, both showpieces for orchestra and highly accessible for young listeners.
Won't you please join us in the world's greatest classical music played by one of Colorado's finest orchestras.
