Behind the Baton Live: The American West, From Copland to Kirkland is a special presentation from CPR Classical and the Denver Art Museum on June 16 at the Sturm Grand Pavilion, exploring the music and art that both celebrate and challenge the identity of the American West. Conductor Scott O’Neil and JR Henneman, Curator of Western American Art, serve as your guides in this live, multimedia experience blending performance, storytelling and visual art. Part introspection and part celebration of Colorado’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th, the evening journeys across time and landscape to reconsider the myth, memory and meaning of the West.
