This week at the College of Music: Community Edition - April 13, 2023

“CU at Boettcher” is back! 
In addition to Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana” and our collaboration with El Sistema Colorado, the College of Music’s long-awaited CU at Boettcher concert on May 2 will feature the world premiere of composer Carter Pann’s new work: his five-movement, 17-minute Symphony No. 3–“On The Importance of Our Democracy,” commissioned by the Dr. C.W. Bixler Family Foundation. Learn more about the biennial CU at Boettcher event in this interview with Professor of Conducting + Director of Orchestral Studies Gary Lewis.
