Denver Philharmonic Orchestra: Wild Wild West
$27 ($19 senior ages 65+, $12 student; ages 12 & under free)
- Mark Mast, guest conductor
Tom Taylor — Big Basin Breakdown
Johannes Brahms — Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68
Giddy up! April 8, we welcome back Principal Guest Conductor Mark Mast to the Queen City of the Plains with a hearty howdy! Two nuggets kick off the evening — Variations on a Cowboy Tune by colorful Coloradan Cecil Effinger, trailed by Tom Taylor's bluegrass lark, Big Basin Breakdown. We ride off into the sunset with Johannes Brahms' first symphony — a work that took two decades to wrangle but left the composer ridin' high in the saddle.
