Welcome to Boettcher Concert Hall! Since moving to Colorado, this has become one of my favorite times of year, perfectly capturing the splendor of the Centennial State as it transforms into a winter wonderland complete with snowcapped mountains and breathtaking natural beauty—the hills really are alive with the sound of music! This is also a particularly special time at Boettcher as we join together with friends, family, and loved ones to celebrate the holiday season with beautiful symphonic sounds. We have a lot to be thankful for this season, as we’re delighted to welcome Bertie Baigent to Denver as our new Assistant Conductor. He comes to us with remarkable talent and a passion for music-making that we know will resonate with all of you. I’m so looking forward to his work on the podium with our orchestra and watching as he builds a rapport with you this season. Our holiday concert season is positively brimming with something for everyone. I’m particularly excited for a brand new program we’ve put together: A Classical Christmas. We so often think of holiday concerts as being mainly pops-driven, but classical composers—from Handel in the Baroque, to Berlioz in the nineteenth century, to Holst and Barber in the twentieth—wrote wonderful works to commemorate the season, so we’re eager to share this special program in a pair of concerts devoted exclusively to the “classical” side of Christmas on December 7 and 8. Of course, we’re also thrilled to reprise the holiday favorites you’ve come to know and love with Associate Conductor Christopher Dragon conducting A Colorado Christmas (December 14-16) and Too Hot to Handel on December 21 and 22. We’ll also ring in 2019 together as your Colorado Symphony and I present in A Night in Vienna on New Year’s Eve. On behalf of the entire Colorado Symphony family, thank you for sharing your holidays with us as we celebrate this joyous music together. Warmly,
Brett Mitchell Music Director, Colorado Symphony 6

Most people live in the present. The world of now. But a handful of us work in a unique world that doesn’t quite exist yet — the world of Five Years Out. Five Years Out is the tangible future. And the people who live and work there know that new technologies, new materials, new electronics and new ideas will make life not only different, but better. Not just cheaper, but smarter. Not just easier, but more inspired. At Arrow, we recognize that our partnership with the Colorado Symphony actively supports a vibrant arts culture now and Five Years Out, and that a culture rich in the arts attracts educated, highly skilled professionals vital to the growth of local businesses and corporations in Denver and throughout Colorado. We believe the world cannot and should not wait for the next DaVinci to appear, and that is why Arrow is proud to support the Colorado Symphony’s education and community engagement programming. Innovation is a skill set that can be taught, and innovators have common traits that can be developed. Together with the Colorado Symphony, we are cultivating the next generation of innovators in every field touched by the performing arts, now and Five Years Out. 8

STORIES OF NOTE
Colorado Symphony Guild – 83 Years Strong By Nick Dobreff For Colorado Symphony patrons, a visit to Boettcher Concert Hall isn’t complete without a trip to the Guild Shop. The Shop, for short, is a gift-givers delight full of unique souvenirs, seasonal fashions, and the only place to get your hands on one of the physical recordings produced by the Colorado Symphony. But what may be less apparent to patrons is the long, storied history shared between the Colorado Symphony and the Guild – a relationship that stretches back to the very birth of the ensemble now known as the Colorado Symphony. In 1922, the Denver Civic Symphony Orchestra, a semi-professional precursor to the
18

Denver Symphony Orchestra, was established by the Civic Symphony Society. During the Great In 1973, a $30,000 Depression, the ensemble struggled to pay musicians and find customers willing to pay for Guild gift underwrote performances. In 1934, the Symphony’s volunteer publicist, Helen Marie Black, along with prominent the orchestra’s first local figures Jeanne Cranmer and Lucille Wilkin founded the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Black recording. would go on to become the first woman CEO of a major United States symphony orchestra, while serving as the Denver Symphony Orchestra’s business manager for more than 30 years, including twelve of them as an unpaid volunteer. Shortly after the founding of the Denver Symphony Orchestra, Ms. Cranmer envisioned an organization that would serve the DSO, not only in fundraising but as a nurturer of great music and future audience creation from the youth of the city. In 1935 she hosted a luncheon with six of her friends, including Helen Marie Black, at the Denver Country Club. It was at this meeting that the wheels were set in motion to form just such an organization. During a gathering at Mrs. Cranmer’s home with 75 of Denver’s cultural leaders, the Women’s Committee for the Orchestra was officially formed with Ms. Cranmer elected as Chairmen, a post she held until 1940. The Women’s Committee became the precursor to the Denver Symphony Guild, which changed its name in 1940 and in 1947 saw the establishment of Music Appreciation Groups in various areas of Denver. The objective of these groups was to support the Denver Symphony Orchestra and encourage musical appreciation, knowledge, and participation of its members and the community as a whole. This mission continues to be the Guild's purpose today. Throughout their history, Guild members have been vital to many Symphony events and programs. As far back as 1947, the Guild promoted the orchestra’s first Red Rocks concert series by staffing five Thursday-Friday ticket booths in strategic Denver locations preceding the weekend events. The Guild helped expand the orchestra’s Education Department with the formation of the Junior Guild’s original “Tiny Tots” program in 1967. In 1973, a $30,000 Guild gift underwrote the orchestra’s first recording. And when Boettcher Hall opened in 1977 and was dedicated in 1978, Guild members served as ushers for introductory tours as well as the inaugural “Pick a Seat” program. The Guild has maintained this strong relationship through the best and worst of times

in the Symphony’s history. When, in 1988, the Denver Symphony Orchestra suffered a severe financial downturn which resulted in the concert season being suspended for several months, the Guild remained loyal. Their devotion was rewarded as the Symphony survived and emerged stronger as the Colorado Symphony. Thereafter the Guild Board voted on a name change to Colorado Symphony Guild as it is known today.
After 83 years, the CSG continues to be an invaluable component of the Colorado Symphony’s success. Since its inception, the Guild has provided over $4 million in donations to the Colorado Symphony. Last year the Guild generously gave $81,000 in total denotations and this year The Guild plans to donate $84,000 to commemorate their 84 years in existence. “The generous support of the Colorado Symphony Guild is vital to the success of our organization,” said Brett Mitchell, Music Director. “We’re grateful not only for the Guild’s outstanding financial support through fundraising efforts and sales at the Guild Shop, but also for the support they provide to our musicians and staff throughout the season. Their passion and enthusiasm for the Colorado Symphony energizes our entire organization.” The Guild is made up of six chapters located throughout Denver. They include the Applewood-North, Denver East, Career-Metro, Bow Mar-Littleton, Highlands Ranch/Lone Tree, and Hilltop-Southeast Chapters. Each chapter is responsible for holding at least one fundraiser a year and all members pay yearly dues. Chapters vary in size with each having its own officers and a Chapter Chairman who also serves on the Guild’s Board of Directors. All chapters meet monthly from September through May with meetings taking place at members’ homes, community clubhouses, churches, or local restaurant. “The efforts and enthusiasm of Guild members make the Colorado Symphony Guild a unique and invaluable part of the Colorado Symphony,” said Jerry Kern, Colorado Symphony CEO and Chair of the Board of Trustees. “The Colorado Symphony would not be where it is today without their support over these last 83 years.” Today, the most visible and well-known element of the Guild is the Shop, which debuted in 1983 as a card table in the Boettcher Concert Hall lobby selling wrapping paper. The Guild Shop has evolved into a go-to boutique for unique musically oriented gifts, recordings produced by the Colorado Symphony, fine leather goods and jewelry, and 20

trend setting clothing that appeals to the diverse patrons of the Colorado Symphony. The Shop renews its merchandise annually, bringing in new vendors, artisans, and clothing lines each season. The Shop’s transformation over time has been justified as it’s produced more than $450,000 in total net proceeds for the Colorado Symphony. The future of the Guild involves attracting new members and helping the symphony’s continued growth by building on their six Denver chapters with the implementation of a new chapter catering specifically to working adults. This proposed chapter would offer more convenient meeting times for adults with busy schedules. “Every great city needs a great symphony and our Colorado Symphony feeds the hearts, minds, and souls of this community,” said Sara Moore, Guild President. “The Guild is proud of its past successes and looks forward to adding to those successes in the future.” The support and dedication of the Guild has been vital to the success of the Colorado Symphony since its inception 84 years ago.

STORIES OF NOTE Following a comprehensive international search and audition process, we are proud to announce that Bertie Baigent has joined your Colorado Symphony as Assistant Conductor.
“It’s a privilege to be joining the Colorado Symphony as assistant conductor,” Baigent said. “Throughout the audition and interview process, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the orchestra and felt a strong connection with the musicians. I look forward to exploring Colorado and immersing myself in American music and culture.” Baigent comes to the Colorado Symphony following prior appointments as musical director of the London Young Sinfonia and the Waterperry Opera Festival. He graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2016 and received his Master’s in Conducting with Sian Edwards at the Royal Academy of Music, London. “All of us at the Colorado Symphony are delighted to welcome Bertie Baigent as our new assistant conductor,” Music Director Brett Mitchell said. “Bertie impressed us with his skills on and off the podium during his audition, and we look forward to the contributions he’ll make to both our orchestra and our community.” Baigent’s experience includes: • Conducting with the WDR Sinfonie Orchestra, the Gürzenich Orchestra, the Britten Sinfonia, and the London Sinfonietta. • Receiving the 2017 Royal Academy of Music’s Sir Henry Wood Scholarship and Ernest Read Conducting Prize. • Training as a cellist and pianist and prize-winning Fellow of the Royal College of Organists. “The acquisition of a very talented and accomplished young conductor like Bertie is a testament to the strength of our orchestra and the health of our organization as it continues to develop artistically,” Colorado Symphony CEO Jerry Kern said. “We are sure that our audiences and the Denver community will embrace him and enjoy his work on the podium.” Look for Bertie’s upcoming performances at coloradosymphony.org. 22
