SILVER AINOMÄE AS DON QUIXOTE!

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.

This dazzling program showcases Colorado Symphony Principal Harp Courtney Hershey Bress performing 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.

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.

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!
