In ”The Matter of Music: Fabric” we come to better understand why music is often compared to fabric, as individual musical lines are interwoven with each other in beautiful and often breathtaking ways. Each selection has its own texture: none as bold and thick as Beethoven's "Piano Concerto #3" or as gossamer and transparent as Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun." Internationally renowned (and homegrown in Colorado) pianist Katie Mahan joins MSCO for a cloth-bound pair of season opening concerts.

The Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra, the orchestra-in-residence at Augustana Lutheran Church, is well known for its performances of baroque and classical masterworks and for its exploration of lesser-known historic and contemporary repertoire. The musicians of the Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra bring a variety of training and experience to the ensemble and a wide array of performing experience.

David Rutherford is Music Director for Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra and the Valor Symphonics Youth Orchestra in Highlands Ranch. He founded the Snake River Chamber Orchestra in Idaho as well as an experimental orchestra in Denver called UnStaged. David is also an award winning broadcaster, heard weekday afternoons (and also on Sunday morning for Sacred Classics) on KVOD, Colorado Public Radio's Classical Music Service at 88.1FM in the Denver Metro area.
