Video: Brett Mitchell discusses Beethoven with CPR Classical

DENVER — Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, Colorado Public Radio Classical has begun a new series called Concerts@Home, in which morning host  David Ginder sits down for a weekly video chat with classical performing artists in Colorado. The latest episode of this series features Brett Mitchell discussing the work he and the Colorado Symphony were to have closed their 2019-20 season with this weekend: Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony.
