The music program at Colorado State University presents its January and February Virtuoso Concert Series performances. The Virtuoso Concert Series highlights the CSU music faculty’s performance talents. Unless otherwise noted, all performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Organ Recital Hall of the University Center for the Arts, 1400 Remington St.

Tickets are $7 for CSU students, $1 for youth (under 18), and $12 for the public. Tickets are available at the University Center for the Arts (UCA) ticket office in the UCA lobby Monday through Friday, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. and 60 minutes prior to performances, by phone at 970-491-ARTS (2787). Youth tickets must be purchased in person at the Ticket Office. Advance purchase is recommended to avoid at-the-door fees.

The CSU music program presents two Virtuoso Concert Series concerts in January and February. These performances feature CSU faculty Barbara Thiem, cello with Joel Bacon, organ; and CSU faculty Gary Moody, oboe.

Having enjoyed successful collaborations in the past, Professors Thiem and Bacon present another program of cello and organ music through the centuries. Many pieces are written for this combination, but there will also be some transcriptions.

Virtuoso Series Concert

My mother would have asked “Why are you buying more music when you haven’t played the music you have?” A very good question, so for this recital, I went digging through my filing cabinet to find music I owned but had never actually played. In addition to finding many misfiled, I found a number of treasures tucked away, waiting patiently to be performed. Which ones will finally see the light of day? Join us to find out.

The University Center for the Arts at Colorado State University provides an enriched venue in which the study and practice of Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre are nurtured and sustained by building the skills and knowledge needed by future generations of arts professionals to become contributors to the essential vitality of our culture and society.
