WELCOME Welcome to the fifth season in the resurgence of the Colorado Symphony.

From the brink of oblivion, this extraordinary ensemble – one of the best in the country and everybody’s orchestra – continues to evolve.

During the past four seasons:

◆ musicians and conductors from all over the world competed at auditions for coveted spots with the Colorado Symphony;

◆ 15 of the finest musicians in the world, 9 of them titled positions, as well as a new Associate Conductor from Australia and Assistant Conductor from Columbia joined the orchestra;

◆ performed over 150 times a season with an expanded repertoire that has something for everyone of all ages;

◆ expanded our educational programs to enhance the appreciation of music for a lifetime;

◆ recorded classical music as well as contemporary and indie music;

◆ innovated in the delivery of our music electronically;

◆ initiated new commercial activities in recording and scoring for films, games, and television;

◆ and made great strides toward stabilizing our financial position.

We are proud of the exceptional talent and diversity of our musicians and artistic leadership that brings our audiences the best orchestral music possible. We are proud of all of the organization’s musicians and staff for their commitment to get from where we were four years ago to where we are today. Most of all, we are proud of the entire community that has made the Colorado Symphony’s resurgence possible.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the music. The 2015/16 season looks to be one of the best ever. We hope you enjoy it and thank you for your continued support.

TAKING THE STAND Colorado Symphony Conductor Search “The acquisition of these two very talented young conductors is a testament to the resurgence of our orchestra as it continues to develop artistically.

We are sure that all of our audiences will enjoy them on the podium.”

— Jerry Kern Colorado Symphony CEO

F

ollowing a comprehensive international search and audition period with more than 200 candidates, eight conductors were selected to come to Boettcher Concert Hall to audition in front of the Colorado Symphony’s orchestra and artistic leadership. The 3-day process included multiple rounds of conducting, individual interviews with artistic leadership, presenting in front of an audience, and more.

The Colorado Symphony is excited to announce that not one, but two new conductors join our organization.

Christopher Dragon joins the Colorado Symphony as Associate Conductor and Andres Lopera joins as Assistant Conductor.

18 SOUNDINGS 2015-2016 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

CHRISTOPHER DRAGON -

ASSOCIATE CONDUCTOR

C

hristopher Dragon comes to the Colorado Symphony following nearly three years as the assistant conductor of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO).

Christopher has been an important figure in expanding orchestral music in Australia in recent years, serving as the conductor or director of various organizations, such as the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, the South Side Symphony Orchestra, the Western Australia Youth Orchestra’s Philharmonic Orchestra, and others.

In recent years, Christopher has been busy performing internationally, including being selected in 2014 to conduct the Princess Galyani Vadhana Youth Orchestra in Thailand and participating in the Jarvi Winter Academy in Estonia, where he was awarded the Orchestra’s Favorite Conductor Prize in 2014.

“It’s a huge privilege to be joining the Colorado Symphony as associate conductor,” Christopher said. “I had such a fantastic time with the orchestra during the auditions and instantly felt a connection with the musicians. I look forward to exploring more of Colorado and immersing myself into American music and culture.”

ANDRES LOPERA -

ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR

A

ndres Lopera is a leading Latin American orchestral artist in the United States, with nearly a decade of work in both North and South America.

In 2012, Andres was appointed music director of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony in Portland, Ore., where he oversaw more than 460 students. In recognition of his contributions to Portland, Andres received the Portland Monthly Award, Rising Star Award, and the Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber Bravo Award.

Andres’ previous experiences include conducting the Oregon Symphony, Toledo Symphony, New World Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, and Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra. He has also worked with professional and youth orchestras throughout Central and South America, including orchestral groups in Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Honduras, and also led the Youth Orchestra of the Americas musical camp.

“I am thrilled and sincerely honored to join the Colorado Symphony,” Andres said. “I look forward to connecting with the Colorado community and to contributing to this wonderful organization.”

Bringing on these two new conductors is a testament to the growth of the Colorado Symphony both artistically as well as in the depth and variety of programming that has become enough work for two conductors to share. As Associate Conductor, Christopher will make his Masterworks concert debut at the Shakespeare Festival on March 18-20 at Boettcher Concert Hall, and both Christopher and Andres will conduct Pops, Inside the Score, Family Series, and additional concerts and events during the upcoming 2015/16 season.

NEW MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT The Colorado Symphony is proud of the reputation it has as one of the premier orchestras in the world. Because of that, we have musicians from all over the world that audition for a full time role on our stage.

The interesting part of auditions for new Colorado Symphony musicians is that the auditions are completed blind, meaning that the auditioning musicians and those choosing who proceed through auditions don’t meet until after the process is completed and musicians are chosen. There is a screen set up so that the musician can’t been seen, the musician does not talk, and there is even carpet to assure the sound of the shoes doesn’t give anything away. Therefore there are no gender, racial, age, or other demographic biases during the audition process, only the best musical talent.

Leah Kovach – Viola Leah comes to Colorado from Houston. Leah is a founding member of the Houston-based Calliope String Quartet, which completed its first concert tour this July visiting cities in Italy, Austria, and Slovenia. For the past three years, Leah also worked as a music coach for multiple schools, including the Kinkaid School Orchestra’s 2012 tour of China and has taught master classes at the Conservatorio Anna Maria Valencia in Cali, Colombia.

Ben Odhner – First Violin Ben Odhner became a member of the Colorado Symphony in 2014 after receiving his Master of Music degree from Rice University, and in 2015 he won the position of Fixed 4th Chair in the first violin section. Earlier in his career, Ben was a member of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, which performed at Carnegie Hall as part of the first International Classical Music Summit brought together through the internet.

Phil Hembree – Second / Assistant Principal Trumpet Before coming to Colorado, Phil was completing his Master of Music in Trumpet Performance from Rice University. Phil is also an avid chamber musician, and specializes in new music. He has worked with several composers to premier new works across the country including most recently a soundtrack recording to the silent film, Cinderella (1922). Phil is excited to move his career to Colorado so that he can take advantage of the great hiking and skiing when he’s not on stage at Boettcher Concert Hall.

© hubls3d / Dollar Photo Club

John Sipher – Principal Trombone John is joining the Colorado Symphony from his home state of Virginia where he was Principal Trombone in the Richmond Symphony Orchestra.

Along with trombone, John also plays the ukulele which is why he’s excited for the upcoming concert featuring Jake Shimabukuro with the Colorado Symphony in October.

SOUNDINGS 2015-2016 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG 21

NEW MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT CONTINUED Alessandra Jennings Flanagan – Second Violin Alessandra is a graduate of Rice University where she completed her Master of Music degree in violin performance and in 2015 she won the position of Fixed 3rd Chair in the second violin section. Alessandra was a founding member of the Basmati String Quartet, which won the Grand Prize at the Coleman Chamber Ensemble Competition and Second Place at the Fischoff International Chamber Music Competition.

Austin Larson – Assistant Principal Horn Austing recently moved to Colorado from Wisconsin. Austin has been highly successful in many competitions, including First Prize in both the International Horn Competition of America and International Horn Society Premier Soloist Competition. Interesting fact about Austin: as of the start of this 2015/16 season, he is the youngest full time musician with the Colorado Symphony at just 24 years old.

Delcho Tenev – Violin Delcho comes to Colorado from Plovdiv, Bulgaria. He had just finished a Professonal Performance Certificate from Lynn University in Florida, and the audition for the Colorado Symphony was the next day after graduation. Music isn’t Delcho’s only skill — he has also performed as a Bulgarian folk dancer and has competed in mathematic competitions.

Brandon McLean – Principal Bass Brandon is from Seattle, Washington but before coming to Colorado has been performing in Canada with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

Before Vancouver, Brandon completed three world tours with the Pittsburg Symphony. Brandon is already enjoying Colorado for the hiking, fishing, and camping.

Michael VanWirt – Percussion A Colorado native from Longmont, Michael was with the New World Symphony in Miami before returning to Colorado. He’s happy to be back to our mountain state so that he can get back on the trails. In 2012 Michael completed the Colorado Trail, the 190-mile hike from Denver to Durango.

MASTERWORKS BIOGRAPHIES ANDRES LOPERA, conductor Colombian Conductor Andres Lopera is one of the leading Latin-American artists in the United States with nearly a decade of engagements in both North and South America. A passionate conductor who believes in the transformational power of music, Lopera has directed the Oregon Symphony, Toledo Symphony, New World Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, and Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra just in the past three seasons. He has also appeared with professional and youth orchestras throughout Central and South America, including Honduras, where he led the Youth Orchestra of the Americas in a musical camp for both young and professional musicians. In 2012, Lopera was appointed as Music Director of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony, for which he oversaw 12 different orchestral ensembles with more than 450 students. Also an accomplished trombonist, Lopera’s musical development started with the Red de Bandas de Antioquia and Red de Escuelas de Musica de Medellin, both El Sistema like programs developed in Colombia.

The Colorado Symphony is excited to announce the return of our Community Ticketing Initiative (CTI). Launched in October 2014, the program was created in an effort to reach new and diverse audiences. The CTI supports the City of Denver’s Imagine 2020 Cultural Plan which seeks to broaden access to the cultural arts for all Denver residents.

Through the CTI, the Colorado Symphony is pleased to offer complimentary tickets to children and families throughout the 2015/16 season. The Colorado Symphony offers something for everyone. Concerts include classical, holiday, family, even music from favorite movies, cartoons, and comic books! Colorado Symphony concerts are exciting for all ages – and an experience you won’t forget!

Who is Served by the CTI? Through partnerships with local agencies and community organizations, the CTI primarily serves low-income individuals and families for whom cost is a barrier to concert attendance.

How Does it Work?

Organizations that serve the target population may request concert specific vouchers that can be redeemed for a seat to that concert. If you are interested in becoming a partner organization or learning more about current partners, please visit coloradosymphony.org/CommunityTicketing.

POPS BIOGRAPHIES ALAN SILVESTRI, composer In his ongoing, decades-long career as a composer, Alan Silvestri has scored some of the most iconically revered and profitable films in Hollywood history, amassing over a hundred credits to the tune of two Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, two Emmy awards, as well as three Grammy® awards. While stylistically diverse, the unifying voice of Alan’s work is an unmistakable rhythmic melody whose themes continue to embody movie excitement and drama for generations of moviegoers.

Born in New York City and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey, Silvestri first thought of becoming a bebop jazz guitar player. After spending two years at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Silvestri hit the road as a performer and arranger. The 1970s witnessed the rise of energetic synth-pop scores, establishing Silvestri as the action rhythmatist for TV’s highway patrol hit “CHiPs.” This action driven score caught the ear of budding filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, whose hit film 1984’s Romancing the Stone was the perfect first date for the composer and director and its success became the basis of a decades long collaboration between the filmmaker and composer that continues to the current day. Though the Zemeckis/Silvestri collaboration is legendary, Silvestri has scored well over 100 films of every imaginable style and genre. Alan’s talent for a dynamically heroic sound has helped propel such Marvel superheroes as Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers to spectacular world-wide success, even as he provided the restrained, anguished sound for the alcoholic pilot of Robert Zemeckis’ Flight.

Silvestri’s rambunctious orchestral cheer has also helped to create the hit caveman family film The Croods. In 2014 Alan won two Emmy awards for his work on Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.

The new Cosmos updates Carl Sagan’s original series with the latest discoveries about the universe we live in and combines those facts with spectacular visual effects and animation.

Ann Druyan, widow of Carl Sagan and a co-writer on the original Cosmos series, serves as an executive producer, writer and director alongside executive producer Seth MacFarlane. Most recently, Alan has composed the music for Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk. The film is the story of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit’s attempt to cross the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. The film will be in theaters October, 2015.

A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER Great Scott! After 30 years we find ourselves being sent Back To The Future. This time the re-entry is in the concert hall, bringing a new sense of excitement through gifted musicians all around the world. Unlike Doc Brown, I could never have dreamed that I would have the opportunity to set the time circuits back to 1985 and have the chance to relive the excitement of the arrival of Back To The Future.

“Where we’re going, we don’t need roads…” With a timeless film, and a timeless machine known as an orchestra, we can go anywhere.

Alan Silvestri
