Hello Friends of Parlando,   

Dear Parlando Parent:

In honor of the 26th Anniversary of Colorado Mahlerfest, we would like to offer a FREE orchestra ticket to your student for the May 19th performance of Mahler's Fourth Symphony and the Abscheid from Das Lied von der Erde. This concert will be held at 3:30pm at Macky Auditorium on the campus of the University of Colorado, Boulder. There will be a FREE preconcert lecture at Macky beginning at 2:30PM by world-renowned Mahler expert Marilyn McCoy.

The Mahlerfest Orchestra is comprised of musicians from major symphony orchestras across North America led by conductor Robert Olson, founder of Boulder Mahlerfest. These musicians come to Boulder at their own expense and play only for their love of the music.  

We would also like to invite family members to accompany their school children to this event. The cost for family member orchestra tickets is $15 per seat. If you, or your child would like to attend this Sunday concert please hand Travis LaBarge an envelope with all attendees' names. If you choose to accompany your child please include a check in the amount of $15 per seat for each non-student ticket, made out to Colorado Mahlerfest. Once again, your child may attend with or without you, and will be provided a free ticket once you indicate he/she would like to attend this performance. 

We will provide Travis with your tickets in individual family envelopes no later than May 14.
