Concert Hall! All of us at the Colorado Symphony are thrilled to be back home with you, bringing a new season of incredible symphonic music to the heart of downtown Denver. What a thrill it was to join this community and your Colorado Symphony family as Principal Conductor in February. The opportunity to work alongside an ensemble of this caliber, filled with world class musicians, and supported by an extraordinary group of dedicated concertgoers means so much and I’m so looking forward to sharing wonderful music with you in the months and years to come.
For our first full season together, we’re delighted to present a slate of magnificent and diverse works across a host of musical genres led by our incredible orchestra. And I couldn’t be more excited to kick things off on September 10 with the return of a legend and friend, Itzhak Perlman, for an evening featuring many of the greatest film scores ever written for violin. I hope you’ll join me for a spectacular Classics season opener featuring Gershwin’s RhapsodyinBlue and Rachmaninoff’s SymphonicDances in September. This season, I’ll also be on the podium leading performances featuring Beethoven’s Third Symphony; a special weekend mini festival we’re calling Mozart & Now which features three unique performances contrasting the music of Mozart with four of today’s brightest composers; and we’ll conclude our Classics season in May with Stravinsky’s groundbreaking The Rite ofSpring. I’m also particularly looking forward to late March when I’ll be conducting one of the most stunning works ever composed, Brahms’ A German Requiem featuring the Colorado Symphony Chorus. This is an exciting time for our orchestra, 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. Of course, this season will be no exception as we debut our Imagination Artist Series with RZA, Mary-Mitchell Campbell, and Nathaniel Rateliff, featuring curated orchestral programs that will showcase three unique artistic visions, all debuting exclusively for Colorado Symphony audiences. On behalf of our musicians, staff, and the Board of Trustees, thank you for your continued support. We have a spectacular season ahead featuring some of the very best symphonic music ever composed and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.
Hello Welcomefriends,toBoettcher
With deep gratitude, Peter Oundjian, Principal Conductor

WHAT IF I’M UNABLE TO ATTEND MY PERFORMANCE?
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.
WHEN SHOULD I CLAP?
FREQUENTLYQUESTIONSASKED
CAN I BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THE CONCERT?
CAN I BRING THE KIDS?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG WHAT IF I AM LATE?
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.

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.

The Colorado Symphony’s first full season under the baton of Peter Oundjian ushers in an exciting new period for symphonic music in Denver By Nick Dobreff

14 COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORGSTORIESOFNOTEANEW ERA BEGINS
Conductors possess an unmistakable magnetism, captivating audiences through movements and gestures ranging from calm and restrained to wild and boisterous. But behind each unique gesture resides vital meaning, conveying tempo, style, and instruction to the musicians on stage while interpreting the composer’s intentions from hundreds of notes on a page. It’s a daunting undertaking that requires leadership, talent, charisma, and a penchant for the dramatic.

It was at Julliard in 1976 that he got his first burst of confidence during an encounter with the legendary Herbert von Karajan, longtime principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. At a master class that year, the eminent maestro asked Oundjian to conduct, unprepared, a Brahms symphonic movement without a score.
“Well, the moment came and everyone was there: Christoph Eschenbach, Seiji Ozawa, the head of Deutsche Grammophon, the head of Columbia Records, the president of Juilliard.
COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
“Icompletely.cametoJulliard in New York when I was 19 and you have to take a second study so I chose conducting.”
“I was at a little school in England which had a very good choir and the first time I realized what a conductor could do was when Benjamin Britten came into my school choir room to audition us,” said Oundjian. “We were singing songs from Britten's Friday Afternoons; we’d worked hard on them and our choir master was very good for a school choir master but he wasn’t Benjamin Britten. And when Britten came in and started to cajole us and move in his way and share his musical energy with us, it was unrecognizable the way we sounded and I was really struck by that.”
“I was studying conducting at Juilliard, but I wasn’t one of the five conducting majors; violin was my major. I was concertmaster, and one day Karajan (who was briefly in residence) came in and watched us doing our thing, which included me playing the solos from the Brahms First Symphony. The next day he asked me [putting on a stern German accent], ‘Do you conduct?’ I had no idea why he would be asking me, but I didn’t want to be dishonest so I said, ‘Yes I’m studying conducting, actually.’ He said, ‘Oh, very good. Then you will conduct later.’ I nearly had a heart attack because traditionally there’s nothing the music students enjoyed more than making the conducting students look bad.”
With a career spanning more than 40 years, Oundjian has been celebrated in the US and abroad for his musicality, commitment to mentoring young musicians, and an engaging charisma that instantly puts musicians, students, and audiences at ease. But despite Britten’s early impact and the undeniable draw of the podium, his first love was the violin and his skill with the instrument took him all the way to Julliard to continue his studies. Yet he couldn’t escape the lure of the podium
They all thought this was going to be the moment when the great maestro showed us all how it was done. I was the only one who knew what he was planning, and I couldn’t believe it. He turned to the audience and said, ‘The concertmaster will now conduct.’

Karajan’s exercise was no doubt initiated to prove a larger point about conducting, yet it was Karajan who ended up being impressed with the result. “He complimented my hands -‘You have very natural hands,’” Oundjian recalls. “That doesn’t leave you. When someone like Karajan says that, you don’t forget it. Years later when my hand started to get bad, I looked back on that experience and it had great value for me.”
Shortly following the conclusion of his studies, Oundjian was named first violinist for the renowned Tokyo String Quartet in 1981. For 14 years, he toured and recorded extensively with the group until a repetitive stress injury began to affect his left hand.
STORIES OF NOTE
“I stood up. He was three feet from me, staring at me and covering up the music! He said, ‘Don’t look. You know it. You know it,’ which was hardly true. So, I conducted and thankfully they played beautifully, as if he were conducting. Afterward, people were joking, saying I was going to give up the violin because Karajan had said how good I was.”
Oundjian’s path led back to the podium, where he reinvented himself as a conductor, at age 39, gaining acclaim worldwide. But it didn’t happen overnight.
17
It was during that time that he had his first experiences with the Colorado Symphony, joining the orchestra as Principal Guest Conductor, a role he held from 2003-2006. During that period and in the intervening years since, Denver was never far from his mind.
“I started having problems with movement in my hands in the late ‘80s, but I was in denial.
It took a long time to come on severely. By 1993 it was really affecting me.” Oundjian eventually discovered he suffered from focal dystonia, a disorder affecting the fine motor skills vital to a professional musician.
“By my late 30’s I was not at all happy playing the violin and so I just felt that I was being directed to do this, to take this new path.”
“One of my first concerts with the Colorado Symphony, I conducted Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony. Very often when you’re playing or conducting, you look back after a performance and think perhaps there was something we could have done collectively to make that more magical. We always want it to be better than what we just did. And this was one of those rare moments that I remember that was so exquisitely beautiful, the sound and feeling and everything. The musicianship that was coming out of every single musician and all of them as a unit was very moving. I’m not a crier on stage but I teared up during that performance and I never forgot that.”
Since that initial stint with the orchestra, Colorado Symphony audiences have become well acquainted with Oundjian, who has been a frequent collaborator over the last two decades. He’s also garnered significant acclaim internationally.
COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
His 14-year tenure as music director at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra ended in 2018. Now carrying the title of Conductor Emeritus, Oundjian’s tenure served as a major creative force for the city of Toronto. He also conducts globally and served as music director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra from 2012 to 2018. In 2019, Oundjian was named Music Director of the Colorado Music Festival and continues in that role today, having already put the Festival on the map of summer classical-music events.
“You are unlikely to be a polished conductor in just a few years,” he says. However, with a renewed sense of purpose, Oundjian managed to master the new trade. After a string of successful guest appearances worldwide, the Nieuw Sinfonietta in Amsterdam hired him as Artistic Director in 1998. In 2003, he stepped down from that post to become music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in 2004/05, a rare opportunity to conduct in the city where he was born.
“That is one of the things that I also love about the orchestra — they play their hearts out and they play with exceptional clarity, warmth, and accuracy. I have a particular approach to music making which concerns the concept of vulnerability. To make something really
“I would love to imagine that the world will think of the Colorado Symphony as truly one of the top American orchestras, because I believe that is absolutely justified, but also the programming be considered exemplary. And not just the programs I choose or conduct, but the whole approach to what an orchestra is and what it can do for a community.
The decision to reunite with the Colorado Symphony was motivated in part by what he envisions the organization can accomplish, but also by the opportunity to work with a group of musicians he knows to be some of the best in the world.
Denver is absolutely a city of the future, it’s growing, and people love to live here and visit. It’s a very attractive place to live and work and it’s attracting people from all walks of life, so I think there’s a tremendous opportunity in front of us.”

Now, at the helm of the Colorado Symphony as Principal Conductor, Oundjian has big aspirations for the organization.
While the road to it was a winding one, the podium has turned out to be an apt showcase for Oundjian’s musical acumen and charismatic personality, to the delight of both audiences and musicians alike. With that path now leading him back to Denver, an exciting new era for the Colorado Symphony is set to begin.
Oundjian is also keenly aware that the Colorado Symphony has differentiated itself as an orchestra that excels in a number of different musical genres and must continue to innovate and push the envelope in a rapidly changing landscape for symphonic music.
exciting happen, you have to take risks. You can’t play it safe. Nobody believes something when it’s cautious. And that’s one thing I absolutely love about the orchestra is that they can throw caution to the wind without losing the control you need to make a fabulous performance.
“This is an organization that plays music, that dedicates itself to great performances of music, which absolutely includes classical music. But there is often a sense from communities that their symphony does something very specific and somewhat narrow and only serves a tiny percentage of the community. And all the work that has been done over the last few years at the Colorado Symphony defies that logic. This is an orchestra for our community and there’s an awful lot of orchestral music that an awful lot of people love. So there’s an awareness and admission that at this point in the 21st century, orchestras have to be relevant for what they really are, which is not just performers of classical music, but absolutely includes the highest level of performance of classical music.”
COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

Very often, one feels the sense of control dominating one’s surroundings and that’s really never the case with the Colorado Symphony. The aspect of excellence must always be the highest priority, and I believe the orchestra is really extraordinary at bringing out its excellence no matter what music is in front of them.”
