SEE THE FILM WITH LIVE ORCHESTRATION!
SYMPHONY AT THE MOVIES: PSYCHO
Boettcher Concert Hall
OCT 30
For Halloween weekend, the Colorado Symphony performs the soundtrack to Psycho, the film that moved the horror genre from gothic to contemporary. Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking thriller continues to resonate with audiences for its jarring music as much as its haunting images and stunning twists. Composed by Academy Award® winner Bernard Herrmann, this score is one of the most memorable – and frightening – in Hollywood history. The complete film will be shown on large suspended screens for the full Symphony at the Movies experience.
UPCOMING EVENTS
STRAUSS CONDUCTED BY ANDREW LITTON
Boettcher Concert Hall
OCT 23-24
Principal Cello Silver Ainomäe opens this all-Strauss program with Don Quixote, for a concert experience that captures the breadth of the composer's remarkable oeuvre. The modernist Don Juan cemented Strauss's international reputation, and his comic yet bittersweet Der Rosenkavalier (The Rose-Bearer) remains a staple for opera companies worldwide. For Don Quixote, Ainomäe's cello plays the titular role of the windmill-battling man of La Mancha, while the viola captures the part of his comic squire, Sancho Panza.
BEETHOVEN & BREWS
Breckenridge Colorado Craft
OCT 29
Eat, drink, & be scary! This installment of Beethoven & Brews is looking to get you into the Halloween spirit. We're once again joining our friends at Breckenridge Colorado Craft for music, light "bites" and tasty beer "frights". Grab your friends and meet us downtown at one of Denver's first brewpubs. We'll put the "boo" in booze!
HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR
Boettcher Concert Hall
OCT 31
A family tradition of the not-too-scary sort, this concert features musical fun for the whole family, including favorites from Star Wars and Harry Potter! Everyone is encouraged to dress up for the Halloween festivities, and the Colorado Symphony musicians will trade-in their tuxes and tails for their own zany costumes. Don't forget to arrive early for the Halloween edition of HalfNotes pre-concert activities held in the lobby and Gallery 2!
RACHMANINOFF SYMPHONY NO. 3
Boettcher Concert Hall
NOV 6-8
Andrew Litton conducts the orchestra through a program of Russian compositions. After the overture to Dmitry Kabalevsky's opera, Colas Breugnon, pianist sensation Denis Kozhukhin tackles Sergei Prokofiev's formidable Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, a piece that rattled audiences with its modernist intensity over a century ago. The orchestra finishes with Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 3, an inventive piece that juxtaposes delicate beauty with towering grandeur.
