It would be difficult to find anyone more popular on the Colorado classical scene than Peter Oundjian.
When the multi-faceted musician was named principal conductor of the Colorado Symphony last year, loyal fans of the ensemble, who knew him from many guest spots on the podium over the years, were elated.
CMF does not always get the attention it deserves. That is odd, considering its consistent programming of well-chosen music, both contemporary and traditional, and the respected players it brings to the region each season.This year, that will include violinist Joshua Bell as artist-in-residence, and Pulitzer Prize-winning John Corigliano, as composer-in-residence. The fest is touting 85-year-old Corigliano as a “living legend” on its programs, and many lovers of artful, new music would agree.
“And the essence of Vail is that it’s a beautiful festival that invites people from across the country or wherever they come from. They’re kind of a presenting organization.” CMF is also different because of its location. Boulder is not such a far drive for people who live on the Front Range — its concerts are less of a destination, more of an evening out — and it takes place in a historic venue.
Bell opens the season on June 29 and 30, joining the orchestra for a program that features Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, along with Mussorgsky’s eternally popular “Pictures at an Exhibition.”Bell closes the festivities, too, with a pair of concerts on Aug. 3 and 6. Both concerts will feature different sections of “The Elements,” a work for violin and orchestra that Bell commissioned himself from five different composers.
