Friday Afternoon Concert: Opus Two—Love & Sondheim 

Enjoy an afternoon of live music in our Stewart Auditorium this winter and spring featuring an eclectic array of musical acts from up and down the Front Range. Come early to explore our new Picasso exhibit, which is free for members.

 

In celebration of what would have been Stephen Sondheim’s 95th birthday in March, violinist William Terwilliger and pianist Andrew Cooperstock perform music from their newest recording “A Sondheim Celebration,” including selections from “A Little Night Music,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Merrily We Roll Along” and more! Considered by many the most significant composer of American musical theater to date, Sondheim’s music is sophisticated, innovative, versatile and…romantic.
