Norman Krieger will return to Durango this fall with his popular Classical Conversations Recital Series. Classical Conversations is a lecture-performance series during which Krieger offers historical background about composers and their works.
Audience members have an opportunity to participate in the conversations.

Krieger received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Juilliard School and an artist's diploma from the New England Conservatory. He was the gold-medal winner of the first Palm Beach Invitational Piano competition, recipient of the Paderewski Foundation Award, the Bruce Hungerford Memorial Prize, the Victor Herbert Memorial Prize, the Buffalo Philharmonic Young Artists Competition Prize and the Saint Louis Symphony Prize.
