One is a classically trained professor, the other a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame who can’t read music. But their partnership is a thing of beauty.

The University of Northern Colorado Symphony Orchestra is set to perform original work by Doug Kershaw, a transplanted Southerner, who along with Prof. Richard Fuchs, has seen this project change his life.

Doug Kershaw and the orchestra will perform at 8 p.m. April 5 at the Union Colony Civic Center, 701 10th Ave., Greeley.

Tickets range from $15-$32 and may be purchased at 351-2200 or by going to www.ucstars.com or www.arts.unco.edu/news/gumbo.
