Red Carpet Rewind: Celebration of the Music of the Academy Awards
FEB 24
Boettcher Concert Hall
It's a red carpet affair as we honor scores that were nominated or won Academy Awards®, conducted by Associate Conductor Christopher Dragon. You're sure to swoon as our very own Colorado Symphony Associate Concertmaster Claude Sim performs The Red Violin: Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra. Plus, we'll kick it up a notch with program highlights including music from The Wizard of Oz, An American in Paris, Mary Poppins, West Side Story, Oklahoma!, timeless Disney classics, and more. Devin DeSantis (who you may have seen at our recent performances of A Colorado Christmas or our Tribute to Mel Brooks) returns to perform, assuring that by the end of the evening you’ll be seeing stars!
