Colorado Springs Philharmonic presents The Great
Sun Nov 13, 2:30 PM - Sun Nov 13, 4:30 PM

To this day, his Concerto No. 5 remains a favorite of Itzhak Perlman and other virtuosos. In this program, Concertmaster Michael Hanson’s rendition serves as a foil to an America the Beautiful World Premiere by New Orleans composer Courtney Bryan, and Schubert’s final symphony, nicknamed “The Great.” Composed just a year after Beethoven’s Ninth, this monumental work is a dying young composer’s bid to be remembered alongside the titan of his generation — and it succeeds.
