• Jan. 8: Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 2
• Feb. 26: Britten: Piano Concerto No. 1 featuring pianist William Wolfram

The Thursday encore broadcasts continue through May and complement our new season of live Colorado Symphony broadcasts, which start Friday with Gil Shaham playing Brahms’ Violin Concerto.
