This groundbreaking concert introduces the original music of Doug Kershaw, “The Ragin’ Cajun,” as scored for orchestra and performed by the Doug Kershaw Band and the award-winning University of Northern Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
A first for both legendary fiddler Kershaw and UNC’s nationally acclaimed orchestra, the show will combine the unique ingredients of rich orchestral sound with the hot licks and energy of Kershaw’s amazing fiddling, creating a “gumbo” of savory sounds stirred up with appreciation for the stringed instrument. Mix in some horns, woodwinds, percussion and Kershaw’s 5-piece country/rock band, and you have a recipe for a night of musical magic!
Proceeds to benefit the 25th Anniversary Fall 2008 Western States Honor Orchestra Festival (for high school musicians) at the University of Northern Colorado.
