Welcome Dear Friends, Can it really be ten years? A decade has flown by as we have embraced the spirit of Boulder and worked to reflect everything that makes this community so remarkable. We’ve known for a while that the Phil is something special, and this season, your orchestra is being presented as a model of civic engagement and artistic excellence through our invitation to the Kennedy Center’s inaugural SHIFT Festival in March. We’re tremendously excited by this honor and hope that many of you will join us in Washington! Music is all about togetherness—it’s the essence of the word “ensemble,” after all—and our 16-17 season doubles down on this principle as it brings together fascinating combinations of guest artists and unique repertoire pairings. Teamwork is front and center as we feature duos in nearly every concert. Local gems Edward Dusinberre, Geraldine Walther, Charles Wetherbee and Nicolo Spera will shine along with husband-and-wife partners Jennifer Frautschi and Eric Ruske, and classical music’s new dynamic duo—pianists Anderson and Roe, who are media sensations in addition to being brilliant musicians. Along with repertoire staples by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Schumann and Rachmaninoff, we are sharing some unusual and provocative works, including two world premieres. “Adventurer-composer” Stephen Lias unveils his tribute to Rocky Mountain National Park in March (complete with photos choreographed to the music), and British composer Stephen Goss presents a unique concerto for violin and guitar, written specifically for our hometown soloists. In March, nature-and-music favorites return, with Jeff Midkiff’s bluegrass-infused mandolin concerto, the cinematic Ghosts of the Grasslands and Frequent Flyers’s inimitable take on Copland’s Appalachian Spring. And our season comes to a dramatic conclusion with an Italianate program highlighted by the sonic splendor of The Pines of Rome. The Phil is also teaming up with Boulder favorite, Jake Shimabukuro, for some high-energy ukulele excitement that has to be seen and heard to be believed. We’re also a part of your holidays, with our ever-popular Nutcracker performances with Boulder Ballet AND A Wicked Good Christmas featuring the fabulous Dee Roscioli, one of Broadway’s biggest stars, in an evening of holiday favorites along with memorable hits from Wicked and many others. All season long, your Phil will also be busy sharing the magic of music with young people through our school visits and Discovery Concerts for elementary students, as well as two sensory-friendly chamber concerts at the Boulder Public Library specifically designed for children with autism and their families. Of all the pairings we’ll enjoy this season, the most important, by far, is the partnership between our orchestra and you. The Phil plays an invaluable role in our community, and YOU, our patrons and supporters, are the engines of our success. I feel uniquely privileged to have shared this journey with you for the past ten years. I look forward to many more, and I thank you for joining us as we celebrate a season of musical togetherness! Enjoy,

Michael


As one of Colorado’s premier ensembles, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is creating a new model for American orchestras through dynamic performances that reflect our community’s own values, creativity, and sense of place. Voted “Best of Boulder” for the past four years in a row, today’s Boulder Phil is bucking national trends with growing, enthusiastic audiences under the vision and leadership of Music Director Michael Butterman. This season, we are proud to be one of four orchestras nationally to be featured in the SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The Boulder Phil’s main concert series—broadcast state-wide on Colorado Public Radio—is presented at Macky Auditorium, a historic jewel on the University of Colorado campus. From multi-genre productions featuring dance, choral and visual elements to concerts with a unique hometown flavor, the Phil’s imaginative programming has resulted in increasing numbers of sold-out concerts and nationwide notice in Symphony Magazine. In recent seasons the Phil has collaborated with an impressive 52 local organizations, encompassing arts, science, nature, youth, social services and more. By going beyond simply performing great repertoire, we strive to connect ever more people to the inspiring power of orchestral music. Recognized as “Boulder’s premier orchestra” (Boulder Weekly) and “Boulder’s superb local professional orchestra” (Daily Camera), the Boulder Phil is comprised of the top freelance musicians from Colorado’s Front Range and beyond. Founded in 1958, the Boulder Phil’s recent history was shaped by notable music directors Oswald (Ozzi) Lehnert (1972-1996) and Theodore Kuchar (1996-2006), under whose leadership the Boulder Phil became a fully professional ensemble. Today the Boulder Phil reaches audiences of over 20,000, with performances from Federal Heights to Highlands Ranch as well as regular invitations to perform at the prestigious Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek. The Boulder Phil strives to inspire the next generation of music-lovers through Discovery Concerts that have reached thousands of 4th and 5th grade students in 42 schools across four counties. For decades the Phil has also fostered new talent with the annual Young Artist Concerto Competition, side-by-side concerts with the Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and other school and youth orchestras, as well as performance opportunities for numerous school and youth choirs. In all these ways, the Boulder Phil strives to be at the center of our community’s cultural fabric.

Community Engagement The Boulder Philharmonic believes that live orchestral music is for everyone. We are committed to providing a wide array of opportunities for people throughout our community to encounter the life-enriching power of classical music. Whether here at Macky or out in the wider community, our programs are bringing more music to more people in more ways than ever before.

• Discovery Concert 2017 takes students in grades 3-6 on a journey to explore orchestral music in a fun, interactive format featuring nationally-acclaimed Music Director Michael Butterman. • In-school visits with a Boulder Phil chamber ensemble highlight instrument families, composers, interdisciplinary themes, and plenty of time for student questions. • Meet the Maestro! Through his classroom visits, Maestro Butterman becomes a resource for area music educators, sharing his infectious enthusiasm and musical expertise with students. • Side-by-side concerts with Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and other local school and youth orchestras pair our professional musicians with student musicians, providing them with a valuable in-concert mentorship experience. • $5 student tickets to every Masterworks concert make attendance affordable and increase access for students from Kindergarten age through college.

He serves as Music Director for the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he will appear at the Kennedy Center’s inaugural SHIFT Festival in 2017. He is also the Music Director of the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra and the Pennsylvania Philharmonic.

GLENN ROSS

Meet Michael Butterman

As a guest conductor, Mr. Butterman has led many of the country’s preeminent ensembles, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony, Detroit Symphony and Houston Symphony. In the 16-17 season, he will return to conduct the National Symphony for three weeks of concerts at the Kennedy Center, as well as to conduct Canada’s Victoria Symphony in the fall. Other recent appearances include performances with the Colorado Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, Charleston Symphony, Hartford Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Syracuse Symphony, New Mexico Symphony, Santa Fe Symphony, California Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, El Paso Symphony, Mobile Symphony, WinstonSalem Symphony, Pensacola Opera, Asheville Lyric Opera and Victoria Symphony (British Columbia). Summer appearances include Tanglewood, the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and the Wintergreen Music Festival in Virginia. Mr. Butterman gained international attention as a diploma laureate in the Prokofiev International Conducting Competition and as a finalist in the prestigious Besançon International Conducting Competition. As the recipient of the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship, he studied at Tanglewood with Robert Spano, Jorma Panula, and Maestro Ozawa, and shared the podium with Ozawa to lead the season’s opening concert. Earlier, Mr. Butterman was sponsored by UNESCO to lead the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova in a concert of music by great American masters. For six seasons, Mr. Butterman served as Music Director of Opera Southwest in Albuquerque, NM. During much of that time, he was also Director of Orchestral Studies at the LSU School of Music and was Principal Conductor of the LSU Opera Theater. Previously, he held the post of Associate Conductor of the Columbus Pro Musica Orchestra, and served as Music Director of the Chamber Opera, Studio Opera, and Opera Workshop at the Indiana University School of Music. For two seasons, he was also the Associate Music Director of the Ohio Light Opera, conducting over 35 performances each summer. At Indiana University, Mr. Butterman conducted a highly acclaimed production of Leonard Bernstein’s little-known 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a series of performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, receiving unanimous praise from such publications as The New York Times, Washington Post, Variety, and USA Today. He was subsequently invited to New York at the request of the Bernstein estate to prepare a performance of a revised version of the work. Michael Butterman’s work has been featured in six nationwide broadcasts on public radio’s Performance Today, and can be heard on two CDs recorded for the Newport Classics label and on a new disc in which he conducts the Rochester Philharmonic and collaborates with actor John Lithgow. www.michaelbutterman.com

Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2016-2017 Program 1


Program JENNIFER FRAUTSCHI, VIOLIN Two-time GRAMMY nominee and Avery Fisher career grant recipient Jennifer Frautschi has garnered worldwide acclaim as an adventurous musician with a remarkably wideranging repertoire. This season she appears as soloist with multiple orchestras across the United States and as chamber musician at Boston Chamber Music Society, Caramoor, Chamber Music Charleston, Middlebury Performing Arts Series, and Seattle Chamber Music Festival. Her 2015-16 season featured performances with the Boston Philharmonic, New Jersey Symphony, Norwalk and Valdosta Symphonies; re-engagements with the Austin, Boise, Pasadena, Pensacola, and Toledo Symphonies; and chamber music appearances at the Library of Congress, Duke University, Chamber Music Northwest (Portland, OR), Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival (Burlington, VT). Her extensive discography includes several discs for Naxos: the Stravinsky Violin Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, conducted by the legendary Robert Craft, and two GRAMMY-nominated recordings with the Fred Sherry Quartet, of Schoenberg’s Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra [nominated for ‘Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (with Orchestra)’ in 2006] and the Schoenberg Third String Quartet [nominated for ‘Best Chamber Music Performance’ in 2011]. Her most recent releases are with pianist John Blacklow on Albany Records: the first devoted to the three sonatas of Robert Schumann, including the rarely performed posthumous sonata (released in 2014); the second, American Duos, an exploration of recent additions to the violin and piano repertoire by contemporary American composers Barbara White, Steven Mackey, Elena Ruehr, Dan Coleman, and Stephen Hartke (released in 2015). She also recorded three widely-praised CDs for Artek: an orchestral recording of the Prokofiev concerti with Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony; the violin music of Ravel and Stravinsky; and 20th century works for solo violin. Other recent recordings include a disc of Romantic Horn Trios, with hornist Eric Ruske and pianist Stephen Prutsman, and the Stravinsky Duo Concertant with pianist Jeremy Denk.

Born in Pasadena, California, Ms. Frautschi was a student of Robert Lipsett at the Colburn School. She also attended Harvard, NEC, and Juilliard, where she studied with Robert Mann. She currently teaches in the graduate program at Stony Brook University in New York. She performs on a 1722 Antonio Stradivarius violin known as the “ex-Cadiz,” on generous loan from a private American foundation. ERIC RUSKE, HORN

Horn soloist Eric Ruske was named Associate Principal Horn of The Cleveland Orchestra at the age of 20, and he also toured and recorded extensively during his six-year tenure as hornist of the Empire Brass Quintet. An active chamber musician, he has appeared with the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Evian Festival, Boston Chamber Music Society, and the Festival Pablo Casals both in Puerto Rico and in France. His numerous arrangements and transcriptions, including a complete edition of the Mozart Concerti, are now available from Cimarron Music. In 2012, Albany Records released The Horn of Eric Ruske, a Box Set that includes two discs of horn concerti with orchestra, three of music for horn and piano, one disc for solo horn and a disc of chamber music for horn, violin and piano. Mr. Ruske currently directs the Horn Seminar at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute and is Professor of Horn at Boston University.

PROGRAM NOTES

JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833 – 1897) Tragic Overture, Op. 81 In 1853 Robert Schumann lauded the twentyyear-old Johannes Brahms as the “young eagle” among composers. From that moment on, new opportunities presented themselves regularly as demand grew for new works from this fresh face on the musical scene. His pen flowed with chamber music, piano pieces, choral works, and art songs. However, it was not until 1858 that his first orchestral work, the Serenade No.1, appeared. During the same period, he composed his First Piano Concerto – a flashy virtuosic work far removed from the brooding introspection of Brahms’s later masterpieces. Reception of the First Concerto has been

Program 2 Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2016-2017


Program described as ranging from “indifference to revulsion.” The composer had simply not found his musical voice. Twenty years later Brahms was at his creative peak and his music was presented on concert programs worldwide. However, the composer had an extreme fear of sea travel and a disdain for public adulation, so any journeys, except for those carried out by land, were out of the question. Therefore, when Cambridge University in England offered Brahms an honorary doctorate in 1876, he respectfully declined the honor. Three years later, the University of Breslau (now Wroclaw) in present-day Poland offered the composer the same degree. He accepted. After attending the solemn ceremony, Brahms penned a note of thanks to the school. His sentiments were answered by the director of musical studies in Breslau, Bernhard Scholz, who clarified for his old friend that the University expected a musical work in exchange for the honor. The following summer, in the resort town of Bad Ischl, Brahms composed his Academic Festival Overture. While Brahms worked begrudgingly on his musical thank-you note, he must have felt that he was wasting his time. After all, he had several important projects underway at the time. One of these was an offer for him to provide incidental music for a Vienna production of Goethe’s Faust. When the production fell through, Brahms was left with a number of sketches of a serious nature. Never one to be wasteful with musical ideas, he forged them into a companion piece to the Academic Festival Overture that he eventually designated as the Tragic Overture. Brahms’s Tragic Overture, although much of its music grew from a specific drama, is general in its approach to tragedy. Originally entitled “Dramatic Overture,” it tells no specific story, but is more of an examination of the storminess of human emotions. The two incisive chords that open this sonata-form work immediately set its tone. After a pause, the first theme is heard without delay. The two ideas within this theme – the flowing rising and falling motif and the dotted-rhythm snippet with a decidedly martial character – are a microcosm of all of the material in the overture. During the development, the tempo slows and the first theme returns, but it is transformed into a peaceful version of itself. Brahms’s recapitulation section takes us by stealth – not with a return of the opening

theme, but of the opening key of D minor. The short coda begins quietly, but grows in intensity during the final few measures to provide a final flourish. ©2016 Orpheus Music Prose & Craig Doolin www.orpheusnotes.com ETHEL SMYTH (1858 – 1944) Concerto for Violin and Horn Composer, writer, and activist Ethel Smyth was one of the most extraordinary women of her time. Born into an upper middle class military family, her childhood was regimented with studies with a governess at home and later boarding school. Early in her life, she realized that she was different than most girls of her time. Although societal expectation discouraged women as composers of large works, relegating them to art songs and chamber music, Smyth decided to continue her education at the Leipzig Conservatory, arguably the best musical institution in the world at the time. At the age of nineteen, Smyth moved to Leipzig, but found the curriculum unsuited to her needs. Less than a year later, she dropped out, but remained in Leipzig where she penetrated the highly guarded musical establishment and met the most important composers of her day – Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Grieg. Perhaps most influential was her encounter with Clara Schumann, a pianist and composer who had also composed large orchestral works. At first, Smyth composed the expected piano pieces and art songs, but before long she took an interest in writing orchestra music. Her London debut in 1890 featured her Serenade and Antony and Cleopatra Overture. It was a great success, largely because she listed her name as E. M. Smyth in the program. Critics were unaware that she was a woman. A few years later, her Mass in D received lukewarm reviews. Although Smyth undoubtedly turned heads with her love of bicycling (viewed as a manly activity in her day), she also smoked cigars and lived openly as a lesbian woman. In 1910 she met Emmeline Pankhurst, the leading proponent of women’s suffrage in England, and became completely devoted to the cause. Pankhurst

was militant in her approach and advocated vandalism of businesses that opposed suffrage. Smyth served two months in prison for breaking the windows of a government official’s home in 1912. In 1911 she composed a multi-movement work for chorus and orchestra entitled Songs of Sunrise, which ends with “March of the Women” – a piece that became the rousing anthem of women’s suffrage in England. It is easy to understand why Smyth became an activist out of necessity, as she was emboldened by the denial of society to let her compose as she wanted, allow her to vote, and permit her to love as her nature dictated. Smyth described her approach to life with her typical cynicism: “Because I have conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I generally dress in tweeds, and sometimes, at winter afternoon concerts, have even conducted in them; because I was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating time to The March of the Women from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have written books, spoken speeches, broadcast, and don’t always make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other equally pertinent reasons, in a certain sense I am well known.” Smyth considered herself primarily an opera composer and composed six works for the stage. The most famous is The Wreckers, composed between 1902 and 1904 and premiered in Leipzig. Her earlier opera Der Wald was premiered in Berlin in 1902, but was produced at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1903. Until December 1, 2016, when Kaija Saariaho’s L’Amour de Loin was performed, it was the only opera by a woman to be produced by the Met. Ethel Smyth’s Concerto for Violin and Horn is a late work from 1927, composed after she was knighted as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1922 by George V. By that time, her hearing had diminished to a level where it made daily activities difficult. However, the listener hears only the craftsmanship of a gifted composer who cut a new path to guide the many women composers who enrich our concert experiences in our own time. The work begins with a grand flourish that is reminiscent of Elgar. After just a few measures, the solo violin enters with a serious theme followed by the horn. There is an extreme complexity to Smyth’s writing that rivals

Richard Strauss, but the musical focus is always clear. The second theme is much more playful. As the work unfolds, there are plenty of sinewy lines for all instruments and a general approach to orchestration that makes the ensemble a third equal partner with the two soloists. The orchestra interludes are brief, but significant. Smyth ends the first movement quietly. Smyth’s second movement is entitled “Elegy (in memoriam)� and is gentle and lyrical. The solo horn opens the movement alone followed by the violin. Pensive solo lines sing over simple accompaniment figures. The second section is more hymn-like with string tremolos and harp arpeggios supporting the soaring melodies of the soloists. The movement ends in a whisper. The finale opens with a lively jagged theme for the solo violin which is completed by the horn. This musical romp is filled with triplet hunting calls in the horn and music of the highest difficulty for both soloists. A cadenza appears for both soloists followed by a review of the third movement themes. A festive coda leads to a decisive ending. ROBERT SCHUMANN (1810 – 1856) Symphony No. 4 in D Minor, Op. 120 Tracing the dates of Robert Schumann’s compositions sometimes yields interesting results. It is widely known that 1840 was Schumann’s Liederjahr, or ‘song year,’ when he wrote the song cycles Dichterliebe, Frauenliebe und -leben, and the Liederkreis on texts of Heinrich Heine. Similarly, the following year was one of instrumental music with the first and fourth symphonies and the Piano Concerto in A minor. The numbering of Robert Schumann’s symphonies is the subject of much confusion. The second of his works bearing the title of symphony appeared in 1841, but was received with indifference by the audience at the premiere. Although the failure was largely due to its overshadowing by a performance by the fiery virtuoso Franz Liszt on the same program, Schumann promptly withdrew the work only to return to it twelve years later and revise it as his Fourth Symphony. Two additional symphonies had been composed in the meantime. Therefore, Schumann’s Fourth Symphony of 1841, revised in 1851, was actually the second in order of composition. Despite the order or numbering system, the work is a dazzling piece that illustrates the Romantic triumph of the creative soul over

adversity. This magnificent work was written as Schumann was struggling against syphilitic insanity – a devastating symptom of the disease that would claim his life in a decade. He re-orchestrated the Fourth Symphony with a constant ringing in his ears. In Schumann’s evocative introduction to the first movement, the themes seem to materialize gradually, slowly taking shape before the listener. The allegro opens vigorously with a statement of the main theme, which will return as a cyclic element throughout the symphony. As the movement unfolds, the key transforms from the shadowy D minor to a dazzling D major. Schumann’s sentimental Romanze is a lovely gesture of Romanticism, emphasizing the many contrasts of orchestral texture while exploring the tender beauties of lyricism. The energetic and heavy-handed scherzo theme is a clever variation of the cyclic melody from the first movement. Schumann’s central trio section is a gentle contrast to the rest of the scherzo. A slow introduction connects the scherzo to the dramatic finale. A majestic horn fanfare ushers in a brilliantly rustic theme just before the final buildup unveils an exuberant conclusion.

Program JAKE SHIMABUKURO, UKULELE Jake Shimabukuro has elevated the ukulele from a beloved Hawaiian folk instrument to a worldclass vehicle, fearlessly traversing boundaries and putting his inspired touch on everything from island standards to popular tunes and, most recently, classical symphonic concertos. No wonder Rolling Stone called him “one of the hottest axemen of the past few years [who] doesn’t actually play guitar.” Even Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder has voiced his admiration saying, “Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with.” Viewed by his peers as a musician’s musician, Jake’s discography includes collaborations with a wide range of artists, from Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson and Cyndi Lauper, to Ziggy Marley, Dave Koz, Lyle Lovett and Bette Midler – with whom he performed for the Queen of England in 2009. In recent years, Jake’s sizzling live performances have made him a hot commodity on national TV, guesting on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Good Morning America and the Today show. He’s wowed audiences at SXSW, Bonnaroo, the Playboy Jazz Festival and the cutting-edge TED conference. Jake was the subject of an acclaimed 2012 documentary, Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings, and, in 2015, made history with the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra when he performed the world premiere of Byron Yasui’s Concerto for ‘Ukulele & Orchestra, Campanella. Jake’s newest studio album Nashville Sessions, released September 23, 2016, is his first album of all original songs, and one of his most adventurous, multifaceted and engaging recordings yet.

GARY LEWIS, PRINCIPAL GUEST CONDUCTOR Gary Lewis is the Director of Orchestral Studies and the Bob and Judy Charles Professor of Conducting in the College of Music at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he conducts the University Symphony Orchestra and oversees the entire orchestra program. He is also Music Director and Conductor of the Midland-Odessa (TX) Symphony Orchestra. At CU-Boulder Mr. Lewis also leads the graduate program in orchestral conducting including both the masters and doctoral level. His former students are currently enjoying success as conductors with professional orchestras and opera companies, university and public school ensembles, and youth orchestras. Prior to his appointment at Colorado, Lewis served on the faculties of Texas Tech University, The Ohio State University, The University of Michigan, and Abilene Christian University. He is equally at home with professional, university, and youth ensembles. He is the Principal Guest Conductor of the Boulder Philharmonic and has appeared with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Music Festival, Boulder Ballet, Midland Ballet Theater, Ballet Lubbock, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra, the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra, the New Symphony Orchestra (Sofia, Bulgaria), and the Western Plains Opera Theater. His work with summer music festivals has also been noteworthy including the Interlochen Center for the Arts, Pine Mountain Music Festival (opera and symphonic) and Rocky Ridge Music Center. Mr. Lewis is also a strong proponent of new music. He has been instrumental in the development and production of contemporary music festivals and his interest in new music has led him to collaborations with composers such as Dan Kellogg, Carter Pann, George Crumb, William Bolcom, John Harbison, Chen Yi, Michael Daugherty, Stephen Paulus, and many others.

Special events and activities are planned each season to bring sponsors and musicians together, building connections that transform each concert experience into a meeting with friends! For more information about Friends of the Phil, please contact Director of Development Eve Orenstein at 303-443-0542 or eve@boulderphil.org.

Ways to Support Your Phil DONATE TO THE PHIL

We rely on the generosity of our community to support the Boulder Phil’s artistic, education, and outreach programming. In fact,
 half of our budget each year is made up of donations from individuals, local businesses and Colorado foundations. Your support at any level has an impact and helps the Boulder Phil thrive as a cultural gem in Boulder County and beyond!

BECOME A PERFORMANCE SPONSOR

Show your support by sponsoring a guest artist, individual piece, Masterworks concert, or even an entire concert season. Your sponsorship entitles you to recognition as a Boulder Phil sponsor, as well as exceptional benefits. If you are considering making a donation of $1,000 or more this season, this is a great way to be recognized for your support of the Phil and set an example for others to follow. Make your pledge at any time and we will acknowledge you throughout the season, with payment due anytime before the end of April of each year.

PLANNED GIVING

Planned giving is an effective way to integrate your personal, financial and estate planning by making charitable gifts that benefit you, your family and your designated charity. There are several ways you can make planned gifts to the Phil and enjoy tax and income benefits. Are we already in your estate plans? Let us know so we can recognize your generosity!
