Congratulations to the 2024 Gold Medalist in Solo and Concerto, Artem Kuznetsov!

Thank you to everyone who attended our concerts over the weekend at Dairy Arts Center. Our musicians really shined bright, led by the amazing Devin Patrick Hughes, and soloist Artem Kuznetsov was incredible and played for three wonderful audiences.

We also performed the Colorado premiere of Florence Price's first symphony. An important step in the long march for equality is to showcase voices that symphonic music has neglected and failed to represent in the past by performing, recording, teaching, and sharing the life and work of Florence Price.

We'll see you at the next concert!
