SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Pre-Concert Conversations
One hour before each Classical Masterworks and Encore Series concert, ticket holders are invited to attend an enlightening preview into the music to be performed in the concert that follows. Hosted by Michael Campion, expect the conductor, Lawrence Leighton Smith or Thomas Wilson, and soloist for the concert to be offering musical insights and little known anecdotes about the pieces and their composers accented by performance demonstrations. For concerts held in Pikes Peak Center, Pre-Concert Conversations are usually held in Studio Bee.
KCME Broadcasts The Colorado Springs Philharmonic in Concert
During the Colorado Springs Philharmonic's 2008-2009 season, all Classical Masterworks and Encore Series concerts will be recorded for re-broadcast on KCME-FM, 88.7. Our program annotator, Michael Campion, will host these fully-produced broadcast concerts which will include information about the music and the performers. Due to the generosity of KCME listeners, KCME has made the conversion to digital broadcasting (HD Radio). "High Definition" Radio (digital radio) will provide sound quality comparable to fine compact discs. The signal will be sharper and clearer. HD Radio eliminates the static noise and interference.
Special thanks are due to KCME for making these broadcasts possible.
KCME Broadcast Schedule 2008-2009 Season
All broadcasts are on KCME-FM, 88.7 on Monday evenings at 8 p.m.
