Welcome to the National Repertory Orchestra, Micha

Welcome to the National Repertory Orchestra, Michael Stern!

Mr. Stern will replace Maestro Carl Topilow after a 42-year tenure as Music Director. Topilow will step into the role of Music Advisor.

"The great promise of the NRO going forward is only possible because of all that Carl Topilow achieved over his more than four decades of devoted work and passion," Stern says. "His energy, focus and belief in young people have been unwavering, and as a result, he has benefited countless young musicians. His contributions have been incalculable, and I am thrilled to continue our long-standing musical dialogue."

NRO Encore Musician Highlight: Edwardo Rios! Edwa

NRO Encore Musician Highlight: Edwardo Rios!

Edwardo has been sharing his talents with Summit County over the last month as the violist of the NRO Alumni String Quartet!

His hometown is Houston, TX, and he's currently based in Dallas, where he is principal viola of the Abilene Philharmonic.

Edwardo was with the NRO in 2015 and 2017, and his favorite memory was performing as a soloist with the orchestra. "The NRO has helped me grow as a musician and as a person. It has taught me self efficiency and how to handle pressure when there is a ton of work thrown your way!"

His favorite place to be was the summit of Quandary Peak "Not only was the view beautiful, I saw a baby mountain goat!"

His desert island disks would be Lutoslawski Concerto for Orchestra, Mahler Symphony No. 1, Kenji Bunch Suite for Viola and Piano, Prokofiev Symphony No. 5, and Schnittke Viola Concerto.

Something interesting about his instrument - both his viola and his bow are Chinese factory-made equipment!

Hear more from Edwardo and other NRO alumni tomorrow at NRO Encore!

NRO Encore Musician Highlight: Audrey Lee!

Audrey has been performing around Summit County as a violinist in the NRO Alumni String Quartet! She plays on her dad's violin (John Burdette), and her mom's bow (Joseph Henry).

When she's not in Breckenridge, she's an Adjunct Professor of Music at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, Oklahoma. She is the first violinist of the Kahlo String Quartet, and is in the first violin section of the Austin Opera.

Audrey was at NRO in 2016 and 2018: "The level of talent in the NRO orchestra combined with the genuine passion and support of the NRO audience and Breckenridge community makes for an exceptionally memorable experience. I've gained lifelong friends and invaluable experience."

Her favorite memory from NRO was getting engaged after the the final performance of The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) at Lake Dillon, "It was a surprise I'll never forget."

Her desert island discs would be Punch Brothers - Familiarity, Isabelle Faust - Bach Chaconne in D Minor, Queen - Don't Stop Me Now, and Beethoven String Quartet No. 14, Op. 131.

Hear more from Audrey at NRO Encore on August 8th!
