Steamboat Symphony Orchestra Director Ernest Richardson is visiting local schools in Steamboat Springs this week, coaching young musicians.
He visited the orchestra at Steamboat Springs High School Tuesday, and then we caught up with him at Steamboat Mountain School. Whenever Music Director Ernest Richardson comes into the schools to work with young strings players, it solidifies the opportunity for the young players.
You can also listen to Ernest every morning from 10 a.m. until noon on Easy 94-1.

– For the Steamboat Mountain School middle school program, which has been in existence 25-30 years, this is a long-standing tradition of teaching music to young students. We are enhancing the work that already exists.
