Tuesday, January 27Pianist (and University of Colorado piano professor) David Korevaar will relive the mid-nineteenth-century "War of the Romantics," which pitted the Liszt-maniacs musically against the Brahms bulls, during tonight's Absolutely Extramusical, a College of Music Faculty Tuesdays concert. Korevaar will give a hands-on lesson in music history through the music of both composers before taking a foray into more modern times with Debussy's "Images, Book I" and a composition by CU grad student Mike Barnett titled "Lunar Rhapsody." The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in Grusin Hall, Imig Music Building, CU-Boulder campus. Admission is free; call 303-492-8008 or log on to www.colorado.edu/music.

Wednesday, January 28When the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Boulevard, caps the month with a free day for Colorado residents today, it means you'll get your carte-blanche run of the place for nada, from the dinosaur bones of Prehistoric Journey to that gray-and-mauve fantasy of a polar-bear diorama that's been drawing oohs and aahs from its audience since time immemorial. Ditto for the Space Odyssey exhibit, with its scale-model Mars Exploration Rover. In addition, paleo-puppeteer Mr. Bones will be roaming the place with his life-sized dinosaur puppets. You'll still have to pay to get into the Gates Planetarium and Phipps IMAX Theater, but the strain on your wallet will be that much less painful.
