Bravo! Big Sky is the Arts Council's classical music series, celebrating more formal music traditions - music that might inspire a hearty "Bravo!"
The Bravo! Big Sky series was borne out of a history of presenting classical music, including the inaugural New World Symphony performance in 1988, upon which the Arts Council was created. Since then, we have presented programming under the label of Strings Under the Big Sky, the Annual Classical Music Festival, and seasonal Schwer-Toepffer Memorial Fund events.
Please see schedule below for upcoming Bravo! events and check our event calendar for more details (page through the calendar and look for green musical events).
