Boyz II Men will soon be making beautiful music in Denver – symphonic music, that is. The best-selling R&B group of all time is teaming up with the Colorado Symphony for a one-night-only concert that kicks off a series of collaborations between the orchestra and some of the biggest pop/rock names of all time. The Boyz II Men – Colorado Symphony concert opens at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 5 at Denver's Boettcher Concert Hall, with presenters promising concertgoers won't be disappointed: The set list includes "End of the Road," "On Bended Knee," "4 Seasons of Loneliness" and "I'll Make Love to You." Tickets are on sale now and currently start from $32.

This is a rare orchestral collaboration for Boyz II Men members Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, and the 79-member Colorado Symphony, which has a successful track record of filling concert halls with artists you wouldn't normally see alongside a full orchestra. Fans can expect Boyz II Men to seamlessly blend their unforgettable melodies and and a capella harmonies with the lush, majestic sounds of the orchestra, led by crowd-favorite, resident conductor Scott O'Neil.

The Role of Music in Opera

By -
There are numerous books on the topic, and every composer, librettist, director, singer and audience member has their opinion as to what role the music should play in an opera. In a play without music, the words ought to support the meaning behind a character's actions. However, in the case of action movies, often times the action is what tells the story and there aren't words, just images to forward the plot. We might hear music to accompany action, build tension, but the action tells the story. Musicals tend to speak until the emotion of the moment just "has" to break out in song - unless it's something like "Mama Mia" where the dialog is the rails we travel on between songs; the songs themselves, written before the concept of the musical, are the focus of the production, while the story is secondary.

When an artist sets paint to canvas, there are brush strokes used for different effects. Sometimes those strokes are subtle, imperceptible; they produce works of art like the Mona Lisa . Other times the very obvious nature of the stroke is the art, as in works by Van Gogh. With some composers of music, the notes on the page are their craft. How those notes translate into an aural experience is what defines some composers as great artists. Brian Ferneyhough has a masterful command of the techniques of putting notes on the page. These techniques are sometimes so subtle, even though written in black and white, they escape detection. Some of what he attempts with his music is just that, to escape detection, to bury the framework, diverting the ear away from the structure, so only the music is heard . The subtlety is so fine it is almost imperceptible. Even though he studied at several institutions, he is considered self-taught, studying scores from Boule
