After such an amazing inaugural season in Boulder, we are so incredibly excited to share with you our upcoming Season of Transformation! Throughout the year, we will focus on the work of Johannes Brahms with a recurring motif of “Brahms Unbound”. We also have partnered with Cherry Creek Chorale as bookends for 2011-2012, and have two new composers in residence, Austin Wintory and Conrad Kehn. We’re looking forward to seeing many familiar faces, meeting new ones, and sharing this transformative season of music with you all!
