Concerto anyone?

Rachmaninoff, Dvořák, Mendelssohn, and more! Join us to explore the world of the concerto with four special guest presenters: Pianist Rich Ridenour, KSO Assistant Conductor Barry Ross, KSO Principal Cellist David Peshlakai and PPS Music Teacher Marcia Working. From the basics (what is a concerto, anyway?) to the insider perspective on playing and conducting concertos, each session will provide unique insights on this fascinating musical genre. The final session will even give you an opportunity to experience the concerto form first-hand, through a fun, guided, Orff-style workshop. No musical experience is required! Works explored in the class will be performed by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra throughout the 2008-9 season.
Schedule:
4 Tuesdays, 9/30-10/21
7:00-8:30 PM

Cost: $58
Two KSO ticket vouchers are included.
