to live. Through fervent prayers of her family and people in ministry, she experienced a miracle healing in her lungs which enabled her to begin singing. In her teenage years, she recorded her first album of Gospel music. Since then she has released nine albums of Christian music. Classically trained, she has performed in numerous operas including Twelfth Night and Hansel and Gretel. Elizabeth has concertized throughout the U.S. and Europe, with over 3,000 church and secular performances to her credit. In 2009, she shared her ministry in El Salvador, singing before thousands in churches, villages, and schools. In 2010 and 2011, her Christmas CD was played in over 100 secondary country radio markets in the U.S. One of the highlights of her career was to be chosen to sing the national anthem for the Denver Broncos before 75,000 people and a marching band of 350 musicians. Originally from Vinita, Oklahoma, Elizabeth graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1990 with a music/business administration degree. In 1992, she earned her Master’s degree in Music from the University of Denver.

MORE THAN Attending a concert with us goes beyond an evening of high-caliber classical music. Last season, we had a lot of fun — we live-tweeted concerts, held lively pre-concert chats, produced a Super Bowl video mashup with the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, hosted a Valentine’s Day photo booth, projected your Rocky Mountain pics above the musicians, brought in an instrument petting zoo, set up a selfie corner with a cardboard Buzz Aldrin, and partnered with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to bring the Gates Planetarium (and the entire universe) into KPOF Hall.
Here’s a taste of what’s in store for our next concert — From Russia With Love on Friday, February 13 at KPOF Hall, 1340 Sherman Street. PRE-CONCERT CHAT, 6:30PM Join us for an informal pre-concert chat about the music you’ll be hearing hosted by DPO Associate Conductor Samuel Fuhrman. Sam will give you insights into the music and music-makers you’ll be listening to.
PHOTOBOOTH ANYTIME! (EXCEPT DURING CONCERT) Grab your friends, family or co-workers and step into our themed photo booth for a free souvenir photo by Pixel Perfect. We’ll supply fun props!
SWEET TOOTH BOOTH ANYTIME! (EXCEPT DURING CONCERT)
We’ll have some yummy Valentine’s Day treats to share.
RECEPTION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING CONCERT Say hello! Come downstairs after the concert for refreshments, meet the soloists, buy a t-shirt — and have fun!
NIGHTCAP, AROUND 10PM Enjoy a late-night happy hour with us! Concertthemed cocktails are $3, and house wine and draft beer are just $1 at Oblio’s Cap Hill, 1225 Logan, after the reception. Meet, mingle and connect with musicians and friends — just three blocks away from KPOF Hall!

“WINTER” FROM THE FOUR SEASONS ANTONIO VIVALDI (1678–1741)
Antonio Vivaldi was the most influential Italian composer of his time. Under his hand, the mature Baroque concerto came to full fruition. Opus 8 (1745), titled Il cimento dell’armonica e dell’inventione translates as “daring experiments with harmony and invention.” It is a set of twelve concerti, of which the Seasons are represented in the first four. The works are considered early program music, which
widely acknowledged that he did write the poetry and then set the music. Winter clearly conjures up images of a frozen and brittle landscape in the first movement. The second movement is more contemplative, sitting by the fire and listening to the rain outside. The final movement builds in intensity as the subject first walks cautiously on the ice, then runs and slips when the ice cracks underneath. The final line of the poem reinforces the joy of winter, depicted musically in the final effervescent flourishes of the violin. Run time: 10 minutes

A HOLLY JOLLY SING-ALONG!
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Follow me in merry measure,
ARR. BY JAMES STEPHENSON b. 1969
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Have you been holding back? We happily
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure,

JINGLE BELLS DECK THE HALL Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way.
’Tis the season to be jolly,
Bells on bob tail ring,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Making spirits bright,
Don we now our gay apparel,
What fun it is to laugh and sing
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
A sleighing song tonight.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Strike the harp and join the chorus,
CHORUS: Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!
35
Jingle bells, jingle bells
The horse was lean and lank,
Jingle all the way!
Misfortune seemed his lot.
Oh, what fun it is to ride
We got into a drifted bank
In a one horse open sleigh!
And then we got upsot.
A day or two ago,
CHORUS:
I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take a ride,
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Jingle all the way!
Was seated by my side.
Oh, what fun it is to ride

When the clock is striking twelve;
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
When I’m fast asleep,
Jingle all the way!
Down the chimney broad and black,
Oh, what fun it is to ride In
With your pack you’ll creep;
a one horse open sleigh!
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;
REPEAT CHORUS
Mine will be the shortest one, You’ll be sure to know.
THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
Johnny wants a pair of skates,
The holly and the ivy,
Susie wants a sled
When they are both full grown,
Nelly wants a storybook –
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
one she hasn’t read
The holly bears the crown.
as for me i hardly know
O the rising of the sun
so I’ll go to rest
And the running of the deer,
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus,
The playing of the merry organ,
What you think is best.
Sweet singing in the choir.
JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Frosty the Snowman
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,
Was a jolly, happy soul,
Lean your ear this way;
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
Don’t you tell a single soul,
And two eyes made out of coal.
What I’m going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Frosty the Snowman
Now you dear old man,
Is a fairytale they say.
Whisper what you’ll bring to me;
He was made of snow,
Tell me if you can.
But the children know How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found,
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
For when they placed it on his head,
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
He began to dance around. Oh,
had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him,
Frosty the Snowman
you would even say it glows.
Had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye
All of the other reindeer
Saying don’t you cry,
used to laugh and call him names,
I’ll be back again some day.
They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.
Thumpety thump thump, Thumpety thump thump,
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Look at Frosty go.
Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Thumpety thump thump,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
UP ON THE HOUSETOP
