Tony winner for “Best Musical,” Man of La Mancha
is a comic tragedy of man’s struggles to better
himself and right the wrongs of the world. Set in a
prison during the Spanish Inquisition, the story of

new ways. The conductor-composer first dissects a
musical composition. The pieces are then presented
by guest musicians from The Colburn School. A lively
Q&A concludes the evening. “You hang on to every
