Becoming Heroes Festival Guide

In some ways, I feel that our work together has been leading to this moment. For 93 years, this community of Colorado Springs has drawn inspiration from this great orchestra. Today’s Colorado Springs Philharmonic has attracted worldwide talents to our stage – the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, and many others – whose musical gifts are matched only by their humanity and generous spirit. They are heroes of our art form and worldwide musical treasures. They have impacted me personally and inspired our Philharmonic to take on a great community project.
