Colorado Symphony Soundings -- Nov 10-12, 2022

Welcome to Boettcher Concert Hall and the Colorado Symphony community. Whether this is your first concert or your hundredth, we are grateful you chose to share the experience of live symphonic music with us today.

Since joining the Colorado Symphony, I have asked many people what the symphony means to them. Answers have ranged from poignant to hilarious, but they always come back to the inspiring musicians you see before you. The Colorado Symphony is a living example of individuals working in unison toward a vision beyond the singular parts they play. They remind us that visionary ideas are attainable when we work together to amplify those around us through our individual roles.

Here at the Colorado Symphony, we have the distinct honor of enriching the lives of our fellow Coloradans and beyond with the profundity of live symphonic music. We aim to create cultural experiences for everyone in our community that looks to the future while honoring the past of our distinctive art form.

As one of my favorite composers Robert Schumann so eloquently stated, “To send light into men’s hearts – such is the artist’s duty.” While the past years have been challenging, we hope you find community, joy, inspiration, and light with us this holiday season. To learn more about our work on and off the stage, visit our website to explore our “We are the Colorado Symphony” campaign.

Join us today in becoming a greater part of the Colorado Symphony. As you reflect on the organizations that enrich your life, we encourage you to consider supporting the Colorado Symphony. Your support helps us to amplify artists as they share their light with you and the Colorado community. Thank you for joining us today and welcome to the Colorado Symphony.

Sincerely,

Cecile Forsberg-Kerr Director of Individual Giving & Strategic Support

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?

You are welcome to bring drinks purchased at one of the bars into all concerts. Food is not allowed in the Hall, including food purchased in 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, cancelations, or changes will be posted on coloradosymphony.org and on the event page for the concert.

YOUR GIFTS AT WORK: Making A Community Impact

By Nick Dobreff

Musicbrings people together to inspire and unite the human spirit. The Colorado Symphony believes that symphonic music must be available to everyone and that communities thrive when music is accessible to all.

When you give to the Colorado Symphony, it does more than support the music you hear from stage. It makes an impact that extends far beyond the walls of Boettcher Concert Hall, into communities, local businesses, and schools across Colorado, inspiring the next generation of music makers in our state and providing cultural experiences that enrich the lives of all Coloradans.

With an annual local economic impact of $30 million, the Colorado Symphony plays a vital role in elevating Denver’s national reputation while improving the quality of life for current and future generations.

However, the greatest impact is felt in classrooms and practice studios across Colorado, where 74% of full-time Colorado Symphony musicians currently serve as music educators or teach private lessons. As one of the state’s largest full-time arts employers, the Colorado Symphony helps to provide a strong base of support for the performing arts ecosystem.

Engaging communities in Colorado is a vital part of the Colorado Symphony’s mission as each year nearly 30,000 children, students, and adults attend education and community programs both inside Boettcher Concert Hall and around metro-Denver to learn and experience the enriching world of symphonic music. But a renewed focus on accessibility and deeper community engagement have taken Colorado Symphony education and community programs to even higher levels in recent years.

As part of the Colorado Symphony’s goal to create high impact programming and deliver mentorship and coaching opportunities to students, a new partnership brought seven Colorado Symphony musicians to Aurora Central High School this year for nearly 130 hours of engagement with their students. The program includes sectionals for both band and orchestra students and side-by-side performances with those musicians at school concerts throughout the 2022/23 school year.

“Collaborating with the Colorado Symphony has changed the entire atmosphere of the music program at Aurora Central High School,” said Kyle Jones, Instrumental Music Teacher at Aurora Central High School. “Students are eager to learn from professional musicians and have enjoyed building relationships with them. We have more students asking to attend the Open Rehearsals and Youth Concerts than we have room for! Working with the Symphony has energized our students and provided valuable opportunities for me and my program.”

The Colorado Symphony believes the arts play a major role in building healthy, richly diverse communities and that students of all ages should have the opportunity to experience the interconnectedness that the arts provide regardless of their financial resources. The CSA has continued to have discussions with community leaders about the lack of bilingual offerings that showcase symphonic music, a need for programming that supports early-childhood education literacy efforts, and culturally relevant performances. From these conversations, the Symphony has designed several programs that create opportunities for community building.

Anythink Library Brighton is one example of a partnering organization that is seeing the benefits of bringing in symphonic programming.

“It has been a joy to work with the Colorado Symphony over the past year and to see our partnership grow,” said Nickie Lundberg, a Children’s Guide at Anythink Library in Brighton. “I love watching the children’s faces when they are exposed to new types of music or are enthralled by a performance. I especially appreciate that the Symphony has been able to bring bilingual music experiences to the Brighton and Adams County community. We were able to offer free Petite Musique and Canta y Baila Conmigo concerts to our youngest community members and customers have shared with me that the Symphony has been one of their favorite library experiences. Through the Symphony’s Master Mentor program, we surprised and delighted our customers by having impromptu music performances in the library. Recently, we had Anne-Marie Hoffman here at Anythink Brighton, a violinist from the Colorado Symphony. A customer came in and heard the last few songs of the performance and was overjoyed. She said, ‘You cannot imagine what a day I had. This is exactly what I needed. This completely changed my day.’”

The Colorado Symphony continues to be an agent of social development in the community by enhancing music appreciation, providing unforgettable entertainment, and using music to touch the depths of the human spirit. But the most meaningful impact will come from connecting with the next generation who will become the artists, educators, and music enthusiasts of tomorrow.

Colorado Symphony musicians also perform annually alongside the Denver Young Artists Orchestra (DYAO), one of the leading youth orchestras in the country, which was originally formed by musicians from the then Denver Symphony Orchestra in 1977. In 2018, a strategic alliance was formed between the two organizations, which has ensured that young musicians in the DYAO have even greater access to and mentorship from the musicians of the Colorado Symphony.

In addition to DYAO, Colorado Symphony musicians participate in many other youthbased music programs throughout Colorado including El Sistema Colorado, Front Range Youth Symphony, and Rocky Ridge Music Center.

“Whether your favorite musical genre is classical or rock, there is a craving for live symphonic music in our community among all ages and backgrounds,” said Peter Oundjian, Principal Conductor. “At the Colorado Symphony, we have the potential to be an American leader in providing musically and culturally diverse live symphonic music. Because of your support and the imagination of the Colorado Symphony, we are creating a future where the symphony is for everyone.”

Thanks in part to the generosity of patrons and donors like you, 60,000 students and teachers experienced the transformative power of live performance last season between in person and virtual Colorado Symphony program offerings. But that’s not all – you helped to create a thriving cultural ecosystem by supporting one of Colorado’s largest fulltime arts employers. The Colorado Symphony employs over 80 full-time musicians who enrich our communities by sharing their artistry on and off stage as educators, leaders, and community members.

As the Colorado Symphony looks towards the future, the goal remains clear: to provide programming and experiences that allow students and the community to not only experience the live sounds of symphonic music, but to see themselves in the music, in its musicians, and in Boettcher Concert Hall. That includes additional inclusive programming featuring bilingual performances, repertoire from an array of diverse composers, and outreach efforts that extend to every school district across the state through in person performances and the distribution of virtual content. And the Colorado Symphony is capable of so much more, but we can’t without your help.

Consider a donation today and help maintain this thriving ecosystem of support. The future of live symphonic music belongs to all of us and together we can make a lasting impact on Colorado for generations to come. Your support today will allow the Colorado Symphony to provide in-person and virtual education content to schools around the state for years to come and open the doors for new and innovative future opportunities. To learn how you can get involved, contact Breanna McCaughey, Director of Community Education, at bmccaughey @coloradosymphony.org. To become a supporter of the Colorado Symphony you can contribute online or contact Cecile Forsberg-Kerr, Director of Individual and Strategic Support, at cforsbergkerr@coloradosymphony.org.

CHRISTOPHER DRAGON, conductor

Australian conductor Christopher Dragon is the Resident Conductor of the Colorado Symphony and Music Director of the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra. He joined the Colorado Symphony in the 2015/2016 Season as Associate Conductor – a position he held for four years. For three years prior, Dragon held the position of Assistant Conductor with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, which gave him the opportunity to work closely with Principal Conductor Asher Fisch.

Dragon has a versatile portfolio ranging from live-to-picture performances of Nightmare Before Christmas, Jurassic Park and Mary Poppins, a wide variety of collaborations with artists such as The Flaming Lips, Cynthia Erivo and Wynton Marsalis, to standard and contemporary orchestral repertoire such as Danny Elfman’s Violin Concerto, Eleven Eleven, all areas of which he has become highly sought after. Christopher has become known for his charisma, high energy and affinity for a good costume, consistently delivering unforgettable performances that has made him an audience favourite.

Recent season highlights include his subscription series debut with the San Diego Symphony, performances of Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton with Danny Elfman reprising the role of Jack Skellington and the historic Colorado Symphony performances with the Wu-Tang Clan at Red Rocks and the Mission Ballroom. Dragon’s upcoming debuts include concerts with the San Francisco Symphony and the Utah Symphony.

Christopher works regularly in Australia and has guest conducted the Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and West Australian Symphony Orchestras. His 2015 debut performance at the Sydney Opera House with John Pyke and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra was released on album by ABC Music and won an ARIA the following year. Christopher’s other guest conducting includes Orquestra Sinfônica de Porto Alegre, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, Omaha Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

He has also conducted at numerous festivals including the Breckenridge and Bangalow Music Festivals, with both resulting in immediate re-invitations. At the beginning of 2016 Dragon conducted Wynton Marsalis’ Swing Symphony as part of the Perth International Art Festival alongside Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Christopher began his conducting studies in 2011 and was a member of the prestigious Symphony Services International Conductor Development Program in Australia under the guidance of course director Christopher Seaman. He has also studied with numerous distinguished conductors including Leonid Grin, Paavo and Neeme Jarvi at the Jarvi Summer Festival, Fabio Luisi at the Pacific Music Festival and conducting pedagogue Jorma Panula.

SPOTLIGHT BIOGRAPHIES

RAJATON

The Finnish word Rajaton translates as "boundless" – a word that so accurately describes the way this six-voice a cappella ensemble approaches music. Regularly performing around a hundred concerts and workshops each year, Rajaton exposes their audiences to the kind of diversity of repertoire, singing style, and stage presentation that has made them a phenomenon on the world stage.

Performing at concert halls, jazz and choral festivals, and with various orchestras, this distinct group of musicians approaches all styles of music with the same level of commitment and integrity, making it difficult to imagine an audience that they could not inspire, or a type of music they could not make their own. In their native Finland, Rajaton is a bona fide pop phenomenon, successfully bridging the gap that often exists between classical and mainstream convention.

Rajaton has released 18 different albums. In 2022, Rajaton celebrates 25 years of music-making with one double platinum, three platinum and eight gold records in Finland under their belt.

Ever seeking new artistic challenges, the group has grown immeasurably through collaborations with other a cappella artists, as well as productions with film directors and choreographers. But it is perhaps their deep passion for choral art, their generosity of spirit and their sheer enjoyment of singing that has won the hearts and acclaim of audiences and critics everywhere. Their energy – infectious; their ability to entertain and inspire – Rajaton!

The voice is boundless.

OLIVER STECH, conductor

Oliver Stech became choirmaster of the Vienna Boys Choir in 2011. He has led the choir in numerous concerts, and on tours of Europe, Asia, South America, and the USA.

Oliver is responsible for the boys’ repertoire; he conducts choir and solo rehearsals and prepares the boys for the sung services in Vienna’s Imperial Chapel. In addition, he trains the boys for productions at Vienna’s two opera houses, and for performances with conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Franz Welser-Möst, or Simone Young. Appearances on radio and television, sound recordings and film shoots are part of the choir’s routine. Oliver conducted the boys on the set of Curt Faudon’s films “Songs for Mary” (2013) and “Good Shepherds” (2017) – in Palestine, Italy, and Austria.

Oliver Stech was born in Waidhofen/Ybbs, Lower Austria. As a child, he received piano and singing lessons. He went on to study romance languages at the University of Vienna and piano, voice, conducting, and music paedagogy at the University of Music, focussing on choral and ensemble conducting. He has founded and led a number of choirs, and has himself appeared publicly, both as a tenor soloist and as a choir member. In 2009, Oliver Stech was appointed assistant to Heinz Ferlesch, the artistic director of the Vienna Singakademie – the resident choir of Vienna’s Konzerthaus. In 2010, he became a lecturer at the University of Music in Vienna. As of 2019, he has also been working with Chorus Juventus, the youth chorus of the Vienna Boys Choir.

SPOTLIGHT BIOGRAPHIES

VIENNA BOYS CHOIR

The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the most famous choirs in the world, and one of its oldest: Boys have been singing at Vienna’s Imperial Chapel at least since 1296. In 1498, Emperor Maximilian I. moved his court to Vienna to establish the Chapel Imperial there, and the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the court attracted musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Anton Bruckner; Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choirboys. Until 1918, the boys sang exclusively for the court.

In 1924, the Choir was reestablished as a private, non-profit organization.

Today, the Vienna Boys Choir maintains its own campus, with a primary school, a middle school, and a senior high school programme. The middle school is attended by 100 boy choristers between the ages of nine and fourteen. The boys are divided into four choirs. Each group spends ten weeks of the school year on tour. Between them, the choirs give around 300 concerts each year, attended by almost half a million spectators around the world. Since 1924, 2750 choristers have sung over 1000 tours in 100 different countries.

On Sundays, one of the Choirs performs with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the State Opera Chorus in Vienna’s Imperial Chapel, as it has done for the past 524 years.

The Choir performs with major orchestras, conducted by the likes of Joana Mallwitz, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Christian Thielemann, Simone Young. A highlight are appearances at the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert and at the Salzburg Festival. Since their first recording in 1907, the boys have recorded 377 shellacks, LPs, and CDs. Numerous films and documentaries attest to the Choir’s international appeal.

BOETTCHER CONCERT HALL INFORMATION

FOR COLORADO SYMPHONY CONCERT TICKETS AND INFORMATION: call 303.623.7876.

THE COLORADO SYMPHONY’S WEBSITE, coloradosymphony.org, provides information on all Colorado Symphony activities at Boettcher Concert Hall and other venues around Colorado including performances at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts, and more. Other venues may require the use of another ticketing source; however, you will always be directed to the official ticketing agent or source by using coloradosymphony.org/navigation.

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. 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.

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.

In the event of a building emergency patrons will be notified by an announcement from the stage. Should the building need to be evacuated, please exit the nearest door, or according to instructions given from stage.

FIRST AID FACILITIES for all patrons are available. Please inquire with an usher should you need these facilities or assistance. Please report any accidents, falls, or lost items to an usher promptly.

ELEVATOR is located within the venue after passing through security and having your ticket scanned. Please follow the signs to the southeast end of the main lobby. The elevator is to the left of the entrance of Gallery 1 on the first level of the lobby.

COAT CHECK is located underneath the main lobby stairs in the hallway leading to Gallery 1.

BAR SERVICE is provided at most concerts. Concessions are managed by Centerplate. Please see the FAQ page regarding policy on food and beverage in Boettcher Concert Hall. The Colorado Symphony reserves the right to change the concessions policy at any time. The Colorado Symphony Association does not manage concessions, ordering, or realize profit from concessions.

LOST AND FOUND items should be reported promptly to the House Manager, via an usher, or directly. Lost items are kept by the usher staff until the end of the performance. After the performance items are taken to Arts & Venues Lost and Found. If attempting to claim lost property during or shortly after your performance, please see an usher. If you’ve left the hall and have a lost item, please call 720.865.4200.

THE GUILD SHOP: Located in Gallery 1 on the first floor of Boettcher Concert Hall, The Shop (as it's affectionately known) is the perfect place to pick up unique gifts, seasonal fashions, and of course recordings produced by, and of, the Colorado Symphony. The Shop is operated by a dedicated group of Symphony supporters and enthusiasts year-round.
