Music Director Andrew Litton conducts the Colorado Symphony through an all-Russian slate to start the season with a bang. The weekend also brings Italian-born pianist Alessio Bax to Denver for the first time since the 2010-11 season, with a technique that's a perfect match for Tchaikovsky's bold Piano Concerto No. 1. Shostakovich's triumphant Symphony No. 5 in D minor provides an apt finish that is a work of high art.


MEREDITH WILLSON'S

THE MUSIC MAN
IN CONCERT




Boettcher Concert Hall

SEPT 26-27



The Colorado Symphony's self-produced take on the Meredith Willson classic brings River City, Iowa to Denver for two performances. The timeless story of slick con man Harold Hill wooing Marian the Librarian features such showstoppers as "Ya Got Trouble," "The Wells Fargo Wagon," and the signature "76 Trombones." Hear this classic score the way the composer intended it – with a full symphony orchestra accompanied by an amazing cast of local and national singers and actors.
Featuring Gabriel Preisser as Harold Hill, Sarah Lawrence as Marian Paroo, and the Colorado Symphony Chorus.

MOZART PERFORMED BY MICHAEL THORNTON




Boettcher Concert Hall

OCT 2-3



Colorado Symphony Principal Horn Michael Thornton performs works by two Mozarts: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's well-known Horn Concerto No. 3, then trades his French horn for an eight-foot alphorn for Sinfonia pastorella by Leopold, Wolfgang's father. In his Colorado Symphony debut, former Cleveland Orchestra staff conductor James Feddeck opens with Dvorák's Carnival Overture and rounds out the program with Brahms' lush Symphony No. 4, the last symphonic work of his career.

OCT 2 SOLD OUT!

INSIDE THE SCORE: SYMPHONY 101




Boettcher Concert Hall

OCT 9



Assistant Principal Viola and Director of Education Catherine Beeson hosts an informative and educational evening that meshes musical performances with a behind-the-scenes peek into the symphony world. For this event, the focus is on debunking myths and explaining the orchestra to newbies and veteran Symphony-goers alike. It's the ultimate entry point into the Colorado Symphony experience.

ELGAR "ENIGMA VARIATIONS"




Boettcher Concert Hall

OCT 16-17



This dazzling program showcases Colorado Symphony Principal Harp Courtney Hershey Bress in virtuosic masterpieces from Debussy and Ravel. New York Philharmonic staff conductor Courtney Lewis leads this program culminating in Sir Edward Elgar's Variations on an Original Theme. Popularly known as "Enigma Variations", the piece consists of twenty-four variations that each depict one of Elgar's family members or friends in a musical cryptogram that draws inspiration from lost loves, barking bulldogs, and his toughest critics.
