Area fans of quality chamber music need not journey to the big city to hear consummate performances by world-class musicians. They can be found right here in Central Colorado, thanks to the efforts of pianist Jo Boatright and her husband Harvey of Buena Vista, along with a dedicated board of directors who make up the Walden Chamber Music Society (WCMS).
A Colorado native herself, Jo and Harvey Boatright retired to this area from Texas where he was a flutist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) for forty years and she was the co-founder and artistic director of the modern music ensemble, Voices of Change, a Grammy-nominated group who presented concerts of chamber music written by living composers.
