Lowell Graham
Conductor
Music director bringing the Greeley Philharmonic through a season of pops, cinema, and Beethoven's Ninth.
In short
Lowell Graham conducts the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra across a full 2026-27 season in Greeley, Colorado, leading programs that range from American concert overtures and film music to Dvořák and Beethoven symphonies. Listeners can expect a conductor comfortable moving between light, crowd-pleasing pops concerts and full symphonic evenings.
On the podium
Across these five Greeley Philharmonic programs, expect a conductor who mixes familiar orchestral staples with lighter fare aimed at a broad audience. The season opens with American works, including Copland's Clarinet Concerto and a Barber overture, then moves to a holiday pops concert stacked with seasonal arrangements and a few new compositions. A midwinter program pairs Dvořák's "New World" Symphony with shorter showpieces by Rossini, Sibelius, and Arnold. A film music concert brings well-known movie themes, from Harry Potter to Back to the Future, alongside operatic overtures. The season closes with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony paired with Haydn's oratorio The Creation, a substantial pairing of two major choral-orchestral works. Listeners can expect clearly paced, audience-friendly programming that balances accessibility with core repertoire.
