Greg Sandow on the future of classical music

“Provocative lecture”

January 22, 2013 by Greg Sandow

CU logo blogThat’s what I’m billed as giving next Wednesday, at the College of Music at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I’ll be the guest of their Entrepreneurship Center for Music, and my talk — called “The Classical Music Crisis: How You Can Help” — is billed as their Spring Keynote.

And it’s open to the public: (free) 5 PM, January 30, in room C-199 in the Imig Music Building (the main music building) on the CU campus. All my readers are welcome, along with anyone else. Come up and say hello afterward! Below you’l find a campus map, showing where the Imig Building is.

I’ll also be speaking to a class about community performance, and meeting with conducting and composition students. I love these visits, and have three more likely this spring, one in the US and two abroad. If you’d like me to visit your school, get in touch.

Here’s the map. Hope to see some of you there!

      I wish you could be there, too! Maybe someone will bring me where you are. Or I can give a talk via Skype.
