"Watercolors" is the name of the next Western Michigan University Symphony Orchestra program. Music director Andrew Koehler (Kalamazoo Philharmonia, Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra) will conduct works by Smetana, Rachmaninoff, and Debussy at 8 pm Saturday, Feb 5 in a free concert at Miller Auditorium.
Koehler touches on the special qualities of each piece in a conversation with Cara Lieurance, putting Vltava (Die Moldau), The Isle of the Dead, and La Mer — all influential works - in their historical contexts.
