Welcome
to the String Orchestra of the Rockies’ Silver Anniversary Season, a celebration of 25 years of great music making in an extraordinary place. It is hard to believe that a quarter of a century has passed since a small band of musicians, united by a common love for string music, launched an ensemble that is now recognized as the elite string performing group of the region. We are proud to share the excitement of this very special year and know that you will enjoy the brilliant roster of guest artists and special events that we have planned for you.
Each of our artists this season brings something new to our series that will be a “first” for our ensemble. Internationally acclaimed violinist William Preucil, concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra, will not only solo with the SOR but act as Leader & Concertmaster that evening. Countertenor Jason Abrams will showcase the extraordinary sound of the male contralto voice and Grammy-nominated Silk Road Project artist, Wu Man, will bring a world music accent to our program. At season’s end we’ll showcase the viola with soloist Brett Deubner, who has inspired over 16 new works to be written for his instrument. Joining us on that concert will be founding members Russell Guyver & Sarah Avery, the original violists of the SOR.
As a special bonus, we are delighted to present world-renowned cellist and friend to the SOR, Amit Peled, in a not-to-be-missed chamber music event. Please join us for all: we’ll look forward to seeing you!
Yours in music,
Fern Glass Boyd,
SOR Artistic Director & founding cellist
