CPR Classical presents: Colorado Music Festival and Anthony McGill, clarinet

Join CPR Classical and Colorado Music Festival for an evening of live music from Boulder's Chautauqua Auditorium! Anthony McGill’s musical charisma is a perfect match for Weber’s First Clarinet Concerto, which showcases the full range of the instrument. After intermission enjoy another gem for clarinet, the brief Rhapsody by Debussy — then listen for Debussy’s influence on an absolute icon: Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite — a dramatic fairytale featuring a heroic prince, an evil sorcerer, and a powerful fire spirit. This fresh and thrilling concert opens with a world premiere commission by composer Wang Jie and her own experiences climbing Colorado’s Eldorado Canyon. And, make sure to meet CPR Classical hosts in the Chautauqua pavilion during intermission! Tickets available now.
