MUSSORGSKY PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION
Boettcher Concert Hall
JAN 29-30
The program begins with three moving pieces by Jean Sibelius including the popular tone poem Finlandia. Mussorgsky's rich, intense, and very Russian masterpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition, is a perfect match for the talents of conductor Jayce Ogren, who has been hailed by audiences everywhere in terms of both geography and genre: conducting West Side Story in London, My Fair Lady in Paris, and Rufus Wainright with the Toronto Symphony. Similarly versatile, Colorado Symphony Associate Concertmaster Claude Sim performs Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto which showcases Sim's boundless energy and flawless technique.

SIERRA BOGGESS IN CONCERT

Boggess has also been a Broadway mainstay for the last decade performing in Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera, Ever After, and other musicals. It's easy to hear why: Her enchanting, soaring vocals hit all of the right notes. For this Valentine's Day weekend concert, Boggess will sing a number of the tunes that made her a superstar, accompanied by the orchestra and Colorado Children's Chorale.
MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 2 "RESURRECTION"
Boettcher Concert Hall
FEB 19-20
The Colorado Symphony performs Gustav Mahler's remarkable Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection," a five-movement symphony that takes listeners on a dark, solemn, and sublime journey that meditates on the themes of life, death, and rebirth. Mahler's Symphony No. 2 is the largest symphony ever made in terms of forces, length, and harmonic boldness yet is his most popular and successful work.
Don't forget to arrive early for the prelude at 6:30 pm hosted by Phillip Stevens with special guests Michael Thornton and the CU Horn Choir. Preludes are insightful discussions that take place before each Masterworks performance and are included with your concert ticket.
