After what seemed like an extraordinarily long and hot summer here in Colorado, summer’s finish line is in sight. This means we can officially anticipate and celebrate the arrival of the 24-25 concert season! While compiling performance information for the next few months, we noticed a number of very exciting performances scheduled, including some excellent performers, a good deal of new music, and a solid representation of various classical music genres.

We’ll not call out any particular concert or organizer right now (there will be plenty of time for season highlight reports as we get underway), but it would certainly not be a waste of time to look through your favorite performing group’s website. And while you are at it, consider purchasing season tickets as well as a financial donation (remembering that ticket sales account for a surprisingly small percentage of income for non-profit performing arts organizations).

Even if you already have a favorite organization that benefits from your regular support and attendance, you are encouraged to keep an open mind and an eye out for the occasional something outside of your usual path. Perhaps this is the year you explore more choral music - or maybe renaissance/baroque music performed on period appropriate instruments. There is too much great stuff out there to simply stick with the comfortable alone. 

Discovering something new is part of why The Classical Preview exists. If you are unsure of where to start, sign up for one of our weekly newsletters where you will receive a curated list of opportunities to experience the world of sonic art at a venue near you. We look forward to seeing you there.
