    The Chamber Orchestra launches its 28th season in the Appalachian hills. Originally composed for a 1948 radio program, Kurt Weill’s “Down in the Valley” is an all-American tale of tragic young love, while Copland’s Appalachian Spring is the quintessential depiction of life in early America. Rising American composer Eric Ewazen’s Violin Concerto rounds out the program with its local premiere by outstanding violinist Jerilyn Jorgensen.
    Weill’s “Down in the Valley” showcases young talent from the acclaimed Colorado Springs Conservatory under the leadership of Linda Weise and promises to be a most heart-warming experience. Virtuoso Violinist Jerilyn Jorgenson, who led the Da Vinci String Quartet in countless memorable performances in Pikes Peak Region and abroad, is featured as the soloist in the very expressive and accessible Ewazen concerto. Mr. Ewazen is traveling to Colorado Springs to attend the concerts and be available to answer audience questions after each performance.
