Earlier this month, we were enthralled by the music of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra as conducted by music director Andrew Litton. The audience jumped to its feet to demonstrate their appreciation of works by Rachmaninoff and American composer Aaron Copland. We also learned from harpist Courtney Henshey Bress that Litton s CD featuring works by Copland has received favorable reviews around the world.

There were many gray heads in the audience, evidence that discernment and appreciation increase with age and participation. Let s get more young listeners inside the Denver Center for the Performing Arts so they can begin the process of learning to appreciate the ultimate modality of the audible arts.
