Colorado Symphony is back at Boettcher Hall with an astounding calendar. First up, guest conductor Peter Oundjain leads the orchestra with legendary pianist Emanuel Ax.

Director Nathan Hall positions “Unbound” as a “multimedia, musical kink show.” The new work incorporates classical music and intimacy while striving to change audience perceptions of both desire and opera.

Unweathered by stormy conditions, conductor Peter Oundjian, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, and visiting composer Joan Tower gave life to A New Day.

When not in Colorado, Scott Yoo also leads the Mexico City Philharmonic, the Festival Mosaic in California, and appears on the newest episodes of “Now Hear This” on PBS.

Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner from CPR News paid special tribute to CPR Classical’s Ray White last week.

Conductor Marin Alsop stands firm in her commitment to championing the works of women composers. These are 10 women composers she believes you should be listening to right now but cautions, “there are at least 50 who I can think of off the top of my head who are worth listening to and deserve to be represented.”

Holland speaks with Monika Vischer about the new radio feature, Journey to Freedom: The Spiritual Radio Project and explains the origins of the African-American Spiritual.

Ray White, a veteran radio host whose nearly 50-year career spanned musical genres from coast to coast, died Sunday of cancer. White was most recently the afternoon host on CPR Classical from Colorado Public Radio.
