WELCOME

Hello friends, Welcome to Boettcher Concert Hall. What a thrill it is to be joining this community and your Colorado Symphony family as Principal Conductor. The opportunity to work alongside an ensemble of this caliber, filled with world class musicians, and supported by an incredible group of dedicated concertgoers means so much. I recently concluded a 14-year tenure as the Music Director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as well as six years at the helm of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, but Colorado has never been far from my heart. In 2019, I joined the Colorado Music Festival as Music Director, and I love Colorado in the summertime. Over the years, I’ve also been a frequent collaborator with this orchestra, having served as the Colorado Symphony’s Principal Guest Conductor from 2003-2006, so you could say this has very much become like a second home for my family over the years. My appointment comes at an already exciting time for this organization, which has forged an international reputation for creativity, imagination, and outside the box thinking that has the Colorado Symphony poised to become one of the preeminent 21st century orchestras. In addition to my work on the podium, I’m looking forward to being part of the leadership team collaborating on the organization’s artistic planning process, helping to reimagine the traditional symphonic model while ensuring we continue to bring the best in live symphonic music to audiences throughout Colorado. I’m delighted to be on the podium for three must-see programs through the end of our current concert season, conducting Holst’s The Planets from March 25-27, Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony on April 16, and our season finale of Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony from May 27-29. Your passion for our music is essential to the continued success of this orchestra. In recent years, I’ve watched as the Colorado Symphony has risen to the challenge of transforming into a sustainable 21st century orchestra by diversifying its programming, expanding educational outreach, and adding to an ever-growing list of community enriching activities. But there is more work still to come and we need your help to see it through. I’m ecstatic to be a part of it and look forward to engaging with all of you in the weeks and months to come. On behalf of our musicians, staff, and the Board of Trustees, thank you for your continued support. Together, we’re building a wonderful future for live, symphonic music, and that future has never looked brighter. With deep gratitude, Peter Oundjian Principal Conductor 6

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IF I AM LATE? For the comfort and enjoyment of our musicians and patrons, late seating is at the discretion of the House Manager and takes place during pauses in the program. Ushers will let you know when you may enter the hall. They may seat you in an area other than your ticketed seat so as to not disturb other patrons, and you may take your ticketed seat during intermission. WHEN SHOULD I CLAP? During most Classics performances, there is a short, silent pause between each movement of a piece. You can determine how many movements there are in a piece, and how many silent pauses there will be, by looking at your program — the movements in each piece will be listed there. The applause is usually reserved for the end of the final movement of the piece, after the conductor has signaled the end of the final note with his or her baton or hand. Holding applause between movements is considered respectful of the performers' concentration and mindful of musical continuity. WHAT IS YOUR CELL PHONE/PHOTO/ VIDEO POLICY? We ask that you please silence your cell phones and refrain from talking or texting on them during performances. Flash photography is prohibited at all times. We ask that you please refrain from taking any photos or video during Classics or Movie at the Symphony concerts unless the conductor is off the podium. During Symphony Pops concerts you may take pictures without a flash and may record short cell phone videos. Please be courteous to your fellow concertgoers and be aware that if at any time your cell phone/camera use becomes a distraction to others, an usher may ask you to stop. CAN I BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THE CONCERT? At this time, no food or drinks are permitted in the Concert Hall. All food and beverages must be consumed in designated spaces/the lobby.

CAN I BRING THE KIDS? Kids of all ages will enjoy our Family, education concerts, and many of our Symphony Pops, Holiday, and Summer concerts. All children require a ticket regardless of age, and child tickets are $10. Classics concerts tend to be between 2 and 21/2 hours long. Please consider this when deciding whether or not to bring your child. If your child is disturbing other patrons, an usher may ask you to take your child into the lobby for the remainder of the performance, without refund. HOW LONG IS A TYPICAL CONCERT? Program length varies, but a typical performance lasts about two hours, including one 20 minute intermission. Visit the event page on our website, or flip to the performance details in this Soundings Magazine. WHAT IF I’M UNABLE TO ATTEND MY PERFORMANCE? Subscribers may exchange tickets free of charge — one of many subscriber benefits! Non-subscribers may exchange for an additional fee. You may exchange tickets in person, by phone, or online for another performance within the same season. There is an additional cost if seating upgrades apply, and all exchange requests are subject to availability. You may also donate your tickets back to the Colorado Symphony and receive a donation receipt. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF A CONCERT IS CANCELED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER? We rarely cancel a concert due to inclement weather, but when this occurs we will send a direct email notification to all ticket holders. Updates, cancellations, or changes will be posted on coloradosymphony.org and on the event page for the concert. For more FAQ’s see the Plan Your Visit section of coloradosymphony.org

STORIES OF NOTE

A 21ST CENTURY SYMPHONY The Colorado Symphony is cultivating new generations of music lovers through big name collaborations that are reshaping the state’s musical landscape

By Nick Dobreff

hen you think of symphonic music, what do you see? What do you hear? Does your mind wander to faded images of legendary composers seen in school textbooks and classrooms? Do you hear a favorite symphony or concerto, perhaps something you associate with a powerful memory or emotion? Or are you instantly transported into your favorite music venue, immersed in the sights and sounds of the concert going experience? From the 18th century through the early part of the 20th, symphonic music was the predominant musical art form for much of the world, and the concert hall was the world’s conduit. Lacking the modern technology we enjoy today, someone from this period would be lucky to hear a piece more than once in their life. Imagine hearing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony for the first time and never having the opportunity to hear it again? This scarcity generated a voracious appetite for symphonic music, propelling patrons to the concert hall in droves for generations. After the turn of the 20th century, new forms of music began to gain in popularity, including jazz and rock and roll, and later country, hip hop, and electronica. Simultaneously, music also became dramatically more accessible to people everywhere — from homes to personal vehicles, and later, the ability to access any song with the push of a button. This increased volume and accessibility has created more competition than ever for the eyes and ears of music lovers everywhere. So what is the significance of symphonic music in the 21st century, what role will it play moving forward, and how can classical symphonic music stay relevant with the challenges presented by modern society? This is the question around which every orchestra in the world grapples, and it's one that the Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of addressing. 14

The answer begins with reaching larger and more diverse audiences than ever before. One way to accomplish this is by collaborating with musicians outside of the normal sphere of classical music. One of the first notable instances of such a collaboration involving the Colorado Symphony occurred in 1992 with a performance alongside The Moody Blues at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. However, such partnerships did not manifest regularly until nearly two decades later when, in 2012, the Colorado Symphony joined GRAMMY®-nominated Indie folk-rock group DeVotchKa for a pair of performances at Boettcher Concert Hall and Red Rocks. For the Colorado Symphony, this collaboration was an incredible opportunity to perform with a group of local, world-class musicians while also coming face-to-face with thousands of music lovers who may never have seen a live symphonic orchestra before. And for DeVotchKa, collaborating with the Colorado Symphony added lush new layers to their songs, creating a concert experience that felt familiar and yet completely original. After the Red Rocks performance Westword wrote, “Last night, the rare and remarkable collaboration played for a larger audience at Red Rocks Amphitheatre -and the unexpected, yet perfectly natural musical chemistry between the two groups proved transcendent once again.” “When you have the orchestra, it’s so lush and everything sounds the way I thought the band should always sound,” said Tom Hagerman, violinist, piano, and accordion player for DeVotchKa. “One of the great things is that we were hoping some of the people who may not C O LO R A D O S Y M P H O N Y.O R G

STORIES OF NOTE

normally come down to see the (Colorado) Symphony, if we were involved they would take a chance and come down to see it and keep coming back when they realized what a treasure we have,” noted Nick Urata, lead vocalist for DeVotchKa. Another memorable collaboration came a few years later in 2016 when the Colorado Symphony and Chorus performed with The Flaming Lips — the colorful, boundarypushing rockers from Oklahoma City — at Red Rocks, invigorating the band’s seminal album, The Soft Bulletin, in front of a sold-out crowd. The performance was recorded and released as an album in October 2019, following a second sold-out performance of The Soft Bulletin at Boettcher Concert Hall in February of that year. “I had no idea about all the stuff going on behind me,” Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon told the Denver Post after the Boettcher Concert Hall performance. “It was funny seeing Instagram posts later and realizing (vocalist Wayne Coyne) was twirling a light around his head and throwing confetti. And nobody told me about the giant, pink inflatable robot. I have never heard an audience so loud in Boettcher. I felt like I needed earplugs just for the cheering.” A symphonic orchestra performing with rock artists? Perhaps these collaborations seemed odd or out of place to some. But any trepidation soon melted away when met with the enthusiasm and joy these concerts engendered from each audience.

The overall attendance numbers since 2012 speak to a growing and diversified audience at Colorado Symphony performances. Over the last decade, the Colorado

C O LO R A D O S Y M P H O N Y.O R G

Symphony has gradually increased the size and heterogeneity of its audience while simultaneously lowering the average age of concert attendees. Since 2013, the average age of Boettcher Concert Hall patrons has decreased from 69 to 49. When you include Red Rocks shows, best estimates would put the average age of a Colorado Symphony concert-goer into the low 40’s. “What we do at Red Rocks is we’re giving many audience members their initial exposure to what live symphonic music can be,” said Anthony Pierce, Chief Artistic Officer for the Colorado Symphony. “It’s a long process to get anybody to be your fan and it doesn’t happen overnight. We have to chip away at that gradually and it starts with education and outreach in our community. We have the largest and most diverse audience in our history and the numbers prove that. But our greatest challenge as an institution is ensuring there is demand for live symphonic traditional classical music in the future, and that’s what we’re committed to.” In recent years, the Colorado Symphony has become a staple at Red Rocks during the summer, including performances alongside some of music’s biggest names — OneRepublic, Wu-Tang Clan, Weird Al Yankovic, and actor Jack Black’s comedy rock duo, Tenacious D. These types of performances — the outside-the-classical-music-boxtype shows — are not only delivering vital revenue for this nonprofit orchestra, but also solidifying that future audience which is vital to the future of symphonic music in Colorado. Since 2012, over 20 artists of all genres have chosen the Colorado Symphony for their inaugural orchestral performance. That includes Elephant Revival, Guster, The Flaming Lips, Wu-Tang Clan, Paper Bird, Bonobo, Lettuce, Tenacious D, The Moody Blues, Pretty lights, Mandolin Orange, John Prine, Ingrid Michaelson, OneRepublic, Nathaniel Rateliff, Odeza, Amos Lee, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, DeVotchKa, The Lumineers, and Sarah McLachlan. In that time, the Colorado Symphony has also performed with popular artists like SEAL, Hanson, and Josh Groban. “We’ve been working to consciously build a reputation as an orchestra where a nonsymphonic artist has their great first experience with an orchestra,” Dragon told the Denver Post. “We can still do traditional programming while we bring in artists, even Colorado artists, like Gregory Alan Isakov and Elephant Revival. When you find the right formula and connection, it just creates something uniquely beautiful. You can’t recreate that experience anywhere else.” “I think in Colorado and across the country, we’ve made ourselves known as the orchestra that’s doing the most innovative and interesting things,” added Nick Recuber, Assistant Principal Bass for the Colorado Symphony.

STORIES OF NOTE

The artists themselves have been equally moved by these collaborations, with many recognizing the orchestra to thunderous applause from stage.

“Just watching a symphony play, and having them play these songs was amazing. I never thought I’d feel anything like that,” said Gregory Alan Isakov. When considering a collaboration, the Colorado Symphony first assesses what they can bring to the partnership. If adding orchestration doesn’t contribute significantly to the quality of the music, the collaboration isn’t pursued. There are also additional challenges, like creating the proper sound balance so that the orchestra can be heard over the raw power of a rock and roll drum kit or an electric guitar. “It’s important for us to make sure the orchestra adds value and something impactful to each collaboration, and our mission charges us to ensure there is a future for live symphonic music,” said Pierce. “We’re still committed to curating a classical art form so we’ll never stop playing Beethoven, but we’re committed to the notion that a Symphonic ensemble can do many things well in addition to performing classical music at the highest level.” In today’s evolving symphonic landscape, orchestral programming requires a delicate balance between core classical masterworks and popular collaborations along with other types of programming like the increasingly popular Movie at the Symphony concerts. Because of this, every performance may not appeal directly to the core Classics audience. In order to stay relevant for generations to come, it has become important to show younger audiences that symphonic music has always been a part of their lives, whether they’re initially aware of it or not. “That’s the magic question that every orchestra faces,” added Pierce. “How does playing a Harry Potter or Star Wars movie keep classical music relevant? What we do with these collaborations is we’re giving younger generations their first exposure to what live symphonic music can be. Once they’ve seen us 2-3 times at Red Rocks with one of these popular artists or watched us perform the score for one of their favorite movies live, then I think they’re much more likely to come see our traditional programming in Boettcher Concert Hall. We’ve got to be doing all of these things to make sure we have a future audience.” 18

This multifarious approach to programming hasn’t altered the overall mission of the Colorado Symphony, nor has it reduced the number of Classics performances programmed each season. In fact, the orchestra has taken Classical-only repertoire to outdoor venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Arvada Center, and Dillon Amphitheater in recent years. “There’s no question we are one of the busiest orchestras in the country right now,” said Pierce. “We haven’t reduced our volume of purely classical content or sacrificed our core mission as curators of symphonic music. We’ve just diversified. We are still committed to our core classical content — that’s our greatest priority — but we have to do things that ensure there is a future audience for symphonic music.” As the Colorado Symphony looks ahead, there exists a renewed sense of mission to debunk the myth that symphonic music is only for those of a certain age, a certain demographic, or a certain socioeconomic status. In that vein, an exciting new wave of collaboration projects are set to be announced in the coming months. Through collaborations like these and additional outreach in the community, the orchestra is being heard by more people than ever before and the future of symphonic music has never looked brighter. “What orchestras are doing in their communities is evolving, and I believe we’re ahead of the curve,” said Pierce. “Do we think that every person who came to see Wu-Tang Clan will now come to one of our Classics concerts? I doubt it. But do they now think that the Colorado Symphony is the coolest orchestra out there? I think so. And I think they feel a new sense of ownership to the ensemble. We are creating lasting impressions that will have an impact 10, 20, and 50 years into the future.” From the best of the past to the edge of tomorrow, your Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of a symphonic revolution, imagining groundbreaking concepts that inspire new generations of music lovers while ensuring a prosperous future for live symphonic music in Colorado.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

From all of us at the Colorado Symphony, THANK YOU for helping us prioritize the health and safety of our friends and neighbors. As of October 1, 2021, and continuing indefinitely, the resident companies of the Denver Performing Arts Complex — Colorado Ballet, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and Opera Colorado — will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and facial coverings for indoor, public performances. The new policy states:

The policy is in effect for all ticketed public performance taking place in Boettcher Concert Hall, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, and the Buell, Garner Galleria, Wolf, Kilstrom, Singleton and Jones theatres.

• All patrons 12+ must be fully vaccinated by the date of performance and show proof of vaccination upon arrival. “Full vaccination” means the performance date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or at least 14 days after a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. • Children age 5-11 must show proof of vaccination, or, for those who have not had adequate time to receive their vaccine doses, may instead provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within six hours of the performance start time. • Children age 4 and under — who are ineligible to receive the vaccine — must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within six hours of the performance start time. • For all individuals ages 2 and older, face coverings will be required indoors regardless of vaccination status except when actively eating or drinking in lobby spaces. No food or beverages will be permitted inside the performance seating area and face coverings are required in those spaces at all times.

resources for scheduling your COVID-19 test or vaccination, facial covering, ticketing, and food/beverage policies can be found online at coloradosymphony.org. For the most up-to-date policies please check your pre-concert email or visit coloradosymphony.org/Plan-Your-Visit/ COVID-19

This policy and additional information are posted at coloradosymphony.org. The way in which proof of vaccination will be accepted/collected will be forthcoming. Visit coloradosymphony.org or review your preconcert email for the most up-to-date information regarding attendance procedures and requirements.

Additional information including enhanced sanitization and cleanliness procedures,

LATE SEATING: In consideration of our musicians, guest artists, crew, staff, and your fellow patrons, late seating is at the discretion of the House Manager and takes place during pauses in the program. Ushers will let you know when you may enter the hall.

NO SMOKING: Boettcher Concert Hall is a smoke free venue. Any and all forms of smoking are prohibited in the venue. NO FILMING: Audio or video recording devices, GoPros, professional cameras, or cameras with removable lenses are not allowed in the hall. SECURITY: In furtherance of Denver Arts & Venues ongoing initiative to create a safe and secure environment for all patrons and employees of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, the Colorado Symphony Association is pleased to partner with the Denver Performing Arts Complex on the newlyintroduced security measures for Boettcher Concert Hall and all venues within the complex. We encourage you to arrive up to 45 minutes prior to the start of your event. This will alleviate congestion in all walk ways and entrances and will allow for proper screening. To review the full policy and prohibited items, please visit artscomplex.com.
