The Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, by Ralph Vaughan Williams, is one of the most important and beautiful pieces of string orchestra music in the world. It is also a centerpiece of this year's Wyoming International Chamber Music Festival, happening throughout Laramie and Cheyenne.

Musicologist and conductor Dr. Daniel Galbreath will explore how the Fantasia creates a "sense of place" and how Vaughan Williams digs deep into the roots of English culture and history to create a piece of enduring beauty. Using live examples with musicians from the Wyoming International Chamber Music Festival, we'll explore the "sagebrush in the blood" of this deeply moving work.

Monday, August 3 | 6:30 – 8:00 PM

For more than forty years, Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing Western music. And while remaining true to the integrity of the genre, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding it with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life “The Cowboy Way!”

Riders In The Sky are stars of the stage, screen, the Grand Ole Opry, National Public Radio, Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, Saturday morning TV, and are the only exclusively Western artist to have won a Grammy Award. They truly are “America’s Favorite Cowboys!”
