A
I'm
devin
patrick
hughes,
conductor
and
music
director.
A
couple
orchestras
I
work
with
here
are
the
boulder
symphony
in
boulder
and
the
arapahoe
philharmonic
in
denver.
Well,
I
think
it's
I
think.
One
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
right
now
is
is
that
kind
of
all
the
problems
with
america
are
kind
of
come
to
a
head.
A
Now,
especially,
I
think
in
the
music
business
there's
a
lot
of
independent
contractors
like
people
who
are
falling
in
in
between
the
cracks
and
obviously
with
events
and
sporting
events
and
musical
events
concerts-
probably
not
happening
as
we
know
them
for
for
a
while.
I
think
you
know
the
effects
on
people
like
me,
and
people
in
our
in
our
field
are
immense,
are
devastating.
A
A
But
I
think
also
the
city,
governments
and
state
governments
need
to
step
up
and
show
their
support
and
show
how
meaningful
meaningful
art
and
culture
is
at
a
time
like
this
yeah.
So
we're
just
in
in
these
crazy
times.
We're
trying
to
to
put
music
in
front
of
people
to
show
that
the
musicians
locally
are
still
working
and
making
music.
