The Four Corners area is blessed with many fine musicians, and many of us who attended the recent concert of the San Juan Symphony Beethoven Festival had the opportunity to hear many at the very best. We were treated to an outstanding concert.

Guest conductor Philip Mann, pianist Norman Krieger and the Durango Choral Society directed by Linda Mack Berven, well done. Music makes Durango a unique and dynamic community.

The concert hall, bars, restaurants, churches and other venues that support our local musicians need our support. Music heals and nourishes the soul. The San Juan Symphony needs the support of the community, and for all that can help, there is a fundraiser at the Silver Pick Lodge and Sow’s Ear Restaurant May 15.
