The Longmont Museum will welcome Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra back to the museum’s Stewart Auditorium on Friday, Feb. 4 for a special Concert of Healing from their signature repertoire, Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony.
“Pro Musica Colorado is a professional chamber orchestra. Through their performances of diverse works, they create a musical dialogue that evokes the full range of human expression by bringing fresh perspectives to the music of the past, presenting the visceral immediacy of new music, and sharing new voices from ethnically and racially diverse cultures. ”
Additionally, one of Boulder’s favorite musicians, flutist Christina Jennings will be featured in performances of the Goldfinch Flute Concerto by Antonio Vivaldi and a new work by CU Boulder composer and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Carter Pann. Opening the program is Mozart’s Symphony No. 15 in celebration of Pro Musica Colorado’s 15th anniversary.
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. on Feb. 4 in the Longmont Museum’s Stewart Auditorium. Tickets are $22 for general admission, $20 for students and seniors and $18 for museum members.
