A Snapshot of Love

Katie Glassman & Snapshot with the Boulder Symphony

Friday, February 12th 7:00 pm

                   The First Presbyterian Church 1820 15th Street, Boulder, CO

We are thrilled to play with the Boulder Symphony Orchestra.  Please join us for an evening of music that explores all aspects of love, including 9 of my own songs, ranging from tunes on my first album to Under the Umbrella to some I wrote at my Ucross Composition Residency.  We will be premiering Eric Moon’s composition “100 Years Later.”  The concert will also be colored with several Nat King Cole Classics like “Unforgettable” and “Smile”.

Maestro Keynes Chen,  normally the concert master of the Boulder Symphony, will rise to the podium to conduct the 60 piece symphony.  He is a very accomplished conductor and you will enjoy watching his passion and command.

We have had the honor of working with five arrangers:  Charlie Mertens, Eric Moon, Phil Norman, Justino Perez and Ernest Ebell.  For a four piece band, this is a much larger team than we are accustomed to working with, so you can imagine what a treat this is for us Snapshots!

Tickets are $25 adults, $20 seniors, $15 college students and 18 and under FREE.
