W E LCO M E A Change in Tempo Do you remember the first time you came to Boettcher Concert Hall for a Colorado Symphony performance?
LOCK+LAND.COM
Mine was June 2008, as I watched from my seat up in Mezzanine 8 as then-music director Jeffrey Kahane led the orchestra. Eight years later, I was on the podium myself, making my debut in a concert that previewed the orchestra’s 2016/17 Season. So much instantly felt right that evening, especially the world-class music-making with our outstanding musicians and having genuine fun with the audience as I introduced each new piece. A year later, I led the orchestra once again in our Season Preview concert…this time as Music Director. The hall was packed, the energy electrifying—and for good reason. This season is filled with amazing works in so many different musical genres. Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, The Rite of Spring, a tribute to Ella Fitgerald—it’s a fantastic season, and one I’m truly proud to present for the first time as your Music Director. Over the past year, much has changed as I’ve prepared to assume this role: leaving my former job with The Cleveland Orchestra, moving across the country, and taking the podium here for our first season together—all while adjusting to the altitude! But one thing has not changed: the Colorado Symphony’s perennial commitment to presenting a wide variety of exquisite music for our audiences. It’s one of the many reasons I joined this extraordinary orchestra, and I hope you’ll join us here at Boettcher Concert Hall, again and again. Here’s to a new era of making wonderful music together! Warmly,
Brett Mitchell Music Director

BE OUR GUESTS: THE COMMUNITY TICKETING INITIATIVE The Colorado Symphony launched the Community Ticketing Initiative (CTI) in October 2014 with the goal of making Symphony concerts available to everyone who wishes to attend, regardless of cost barriers. Through the CTI, the Colorado Symphony offers complimentary tickets to low-income and underserved individuals, children, and families for a wide array of concerts each season. Whether guests prefer classical music, holiday programs, or family concerts, the CTI brings patrons of all musical tastes to Boettcher Concert Hall.
In less than four years, the Symphony has partnered with more than 40 local groups.
In less than four years, the Symphony has partnered with more than 40 local groups including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado, Hope Kids Colorado, Center for African American Health, and Veteran Tickets Foundation (VetTix). Since its inception, the number of people served by the Community Ticketing Initiative has nearly doubled, from 3,607 served in the Symphony’s 2014/15 Season to 5,653 served by the end of the 2016/17 Season. As the CTI grows, so does our patrons’ joy in attending Colorado Symphony concerts. Here is a letter (one of the many we are thrilled to receive) from one of the organizations we partner with to provide tickets to those they serve. 20 SOUNDINGS 2017/18 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
OUT OF MANY, ONE: MILITARY DISCOUNTS
For the exceptional individuals who serve in the United States military, the Colorado Symphony is honored to provide discounted tickets to all active military personnel and veterans. The Colorado Symphony commences our annual gala and Opening Weekend with the national anthem because we believe in the song that captures the spirit and values of our country. And we perform concerts on the Fourth of July because we want to celebrate our nation’s founding the best way we can: with beautiful music. Last season, more than 1,400 of America’s servicemen and women came to Boettcher Concert Hall through our military discount program. Our musicians, board, and staff are thankful for the opportunity to express our gratitude for their service through the expressive power of performing music.

CLASSICAL IS IN SESSION STUDENT MEMBERSHIPS
Student memberships are a recent addition to the offering of Colorado Symphony discounts, and the program has seen rapid growth as more and more students flock to Boettcher Concert Hall. Established in the fall of 2016, over 80 students have already taken advantage of the Symphony's new, discounted membership program, with members in the inaugural year attending over 500 total concerts. Data is currently unavailable regarding the increase of selfies taken in the hall, but those numbers are equally promising. While over 8,000 students and teachers received discounted tickets to Colorado Symphony performances during the 2016/17 Season, the Musicurious Membership for high school and college-aged students provides an even deeper discount for students through a one-time fee that provides access to most concerts through a season. The more concerts a student attends, the greater the value of the discount. Musicurious Membership is both a great deal for students on a budget and an excellent supplement to Economics 101. Students have the choice of selecting a Solo Student Membership for $60, or a Harmony Student Membership for $99, which allows them to bring a fellow student as their guest to each concert at no additional charge. #friendsnightout Did you know you can also donate your tickets back to the Colorado Symphony if you can’t attend a concert? Simply give them back before the start of the concert as a tax-deductible contribution by calling the Box Office at 303.623.7876, or visiting coloradosymphony.org

MOVIE AT THE SYMPHONY CHRISTOPHER DRAGON, conductor Australian conductor Christopher Dragon is in his third season as the Associate Conductor of the Colorado Symphony and continues his position as Principal Guest Conductor with the Denver Young Artists Orchestra. For three years, Christopher previously held the position of Assistant Conductor with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, which gave him the opportunity to work closely with Principal Conductor Asher Fisch. Christopher works regularly in Australia and has conducted the Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and West Australian Symphony Orchestras. His 2015 debut performance at the Sydney Opera House with Josh Pyke and the Sydney Symphony has been released on CD by ABC Music. In 2017, Christopher returns to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra for a subscription concert. In 2016, he made his Brazilian conducting debut with the Orquestra Sinfônica de Porto Alegre. He has also conducted at numerous festivals including the Breckenridge and Bangalow Music Festivals, both resulting with invitations to return. At the beginning of 2016, Christopher conducted Wynton Marsalis’ Swing Symphony as part of the Perth International Arts Festival alongside Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra. In 2014, Christopher was selected from 100 international applicants to conduct the Princess Galyani Vadhana Youth Orchestra in Thailand and earlier that year participated in the Jarvi Winter Academy in Estonia where he was awarded the Orchestra’s Favourite Conductor Prize. Christopher began his conducting studies in 2011 and was a member of the prestigious Symphony Services International Conductor Development Program under the guidance of course director Christopher Seaman. He has also studied with numerous distinguished conductors including Leonid Grin, Paavo and Neeme Jarvi at the Jarvi Summer Festival, Fabio Luisi at the Pacific Music Festival, and conducting pedagogue Jorma Panula.
