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 — Reformations on Thursday, May 21 at KPOF Hall. FOOD TRUCK TAILGATE, 5:30–7:15PM

Toccata and Fugue in D minor 1708 J.S. Bach/ Leopold Stokowski (1685 – 1750) (1882 – 1977) Transcribing old music for modern instruments and modern audiences is essential for keeping classical music alive. From obscurity to Fantasia, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is a splendid showpiece of orchestral potential.

Three Black Kings Duke Ellington, Mercer Ellington
(1899 – 1974)
(1919 – 1996)
A master beyond the big band, Duke Ellington originally sketched Three Black Kings as a ballet. The orchestrated version on this program paints a vibrant and joyful picture through sounds.

the El Patio Ballroom at Lakeside Park in Denver in 1942
The first movement with its African rhythmic motifs depicts Balthazar, the Black king of the Nativity. The wistful and lush strings are interrupted in a rhythmic punctuation that will remind listeners of a Stravinsky ballet. The second movement is concerned with Solomon, King of Israel. The mysterious opening bars give way to a lonely violin solo, followed by other lone instruments before settling into a typical Ellington ballroom dance feel. The third movement celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. with a warm and comfortable feeling. The solo clarinet, capable of sounding so sorrowful, is instead celebratory. The civil rights activist was Ellington’s good friend; his inspiring triumphs are memorialized in the uplifting and bluesy finale.

Symphony No. 5 “Reformation” Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847) Only performed once in his lifetime, Mendelssohn’s “Reformation” Symphony is as close to programmatic as any of his works get. Chorale tunes and snippets abound in this soaring and subtle symphony.

Christian ones. Born Jewish and baptized Protestant at age 7, he lived somewhere between the two ideas. As an artist, he waffled between conservative and progressive. Hector Berlioz described Mendelssohn as “an admirable boy; his skill as a performer is as great as his musical genius, and that’s really saying a lot.” It seems, however, that posterity has trouble accepting the happiness of Felix. Should not a real Romantic be poor, ill, unhappy, and misunderstood? Wagner, the anti-Semite, never forgave Mendelssohn his Jewish roots; Debussy saw him as an “elegant and facile notary;” and for many musicologists he was but a pale and vapid representative of musical Romanticism. Felix was a middleman, a man who fell between.
REFORMATION AND RECEPTION Composed in 1830, Mendelssohn’s fifth symphony, the Reformation, was actually the composer’s second in the order of composition (aside from the 12-string symphonies written
