WELCO M E Welcome to Boettcher Concert Hall!

No two investors are exactly alike, but I consistently hear comments like these:

PHOTO: DAVE NELIGH PHOTOGRAPHY, INC.

In my role as Chief Advancement Officer with the Colorado Symphony, I spend a lot of time visiting with patrons and donors, discussing their love of symphonic music and discovering what motivates them to support this organization.

John Burtness Chief Advancement Officer

 I love the music and this orchestra has never been better.  The music feeds me in ways that I can’t explain – it feeds my soul!  We cannot imagine a city without an orchestra, and this one is superb. In a culture that seems to thrive on finding ways to disagree, symphonic music provides a platform to celebrate the beauty of our shared humanity. In response, people contribute to us because they are moved by the music, have a passion for this art form, and because they want to be part of this incredible community of music lovers, forming relationships that enrich their lives. In short, people give out of a sense of gratitude and celebration. If you are one of the more than 3,000 people who provide about 45% of our budget each year in contributed revenue, thank you for your investment in us and in this incredible music! If you would like to join this community of supporters and help ensure that we continue to thrive, please see the information page at the end of the program insert for this concert. Or better yet, give me a call at 303.308.2495 to discuss ways you can support us and why you would like to do so. I would love to hear your story. Thanks again for joining us! With gratitude, John Burtness Chief Advancement Officer 6

FIRST-TIM ERS GUIDE FAQ 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. 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 cellphone videos. Please be courteous to your fellow concert-goers 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. Please be courteous to your 8

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

fellow concert-goers while consuming your beverages so as not to disrupt the concert. For a complete list of items not allowed inside Boettcher Concert Hall, please visit the artscomplex.com website. 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! Single-ticket holders 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, cancellations, or changes will be posted on coloradosymphony.org and on the event page for the concert. For more FAQ’s see the Plan Your Visit section of coloradosymphony.org

STORIES OF NOTE

Colorado Symphony Announces Beethoven 2020 Celebration By Nick Dobreff

“What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.” — Ludwig van Beethoven

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

Beethoven. The name itself carries an immense, mystical power; a mononymous title for one of the most innovative, well known, and impactful musicians in human history. Despite living his life over two centuries ago, Ludwig van Beethoven’s music remains as relevant and groundbreaking today as it was at its inception. To commemorate the 250th year since Beethoven’s birth, the Colorado Symphony will celebrate his unmatched brilliance with a series of musical performances in Boettcher Concert Hall and across Colorado throughout 2020, bringing the full orchestra and chamber ensembles to underserved communities in the state where access to live symphonic music is often difficult or impossible to realize. “Our Beethoven 2020 Initiative will ensure access to live symphonic music for all of Colorado as we strive to impact the state in a geographically diverse way,” said Anthony Pierce, Chief Artistic Officer for the Colorado Symphony. “In showcasing the entire ensemble as well as smaller ensembles made up of Colorado Symphony musicians in venues throughout the state, this yearlong series promises to be a memory maker for Colorado residents statewide.” The Beethoven 2020 celebration officially kicked off December 16, 2019 with a special, one-night only performance of the Colorado Symphony’s annual All Beethoven concert, which featured Beethoven’s Overture from Egmont, his “Emperor” Fifth Piano Concerto, and the astounding Fifth Symphony. The tour portion of this yearlong celebration will take the Colorado Symphony on the road to over 10 different venues throughout the state, beginning January 19 at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. Chamber ensembles led by Colorado Symphony Concertmaster Yumi Hwang-Williams and Assistant Principal Bass Nicholas Recuber will perform as part of Local Set, an intimate, indoor Red Rocks experience at the Visitor Center, featuring local Colorado musicians, themed menus for a full dinner buffet, drinks, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a backstage tour of the venue. In February, Recuber will lead a chamber ensemble in a performance at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. And in March, his chamber ensemble will perform

STORIES OF NOTE at the Salida SteamPlant Event Center in Salida and the New Center for the Arts in Crested Butte. “Even though the vast majority of musicians in the Colorado Symphony are transplants, i.e. we moved here after winning an audition, most symphony players quickly fall in love with the state and find it hard to leave,” said Recuber. “The Beethoven 2020 initiative is a great way for us to combine our passion for Classical music and our love of this wonderful state.” The month of March will also see Hwang-Williams’ chamber ensemble traveling for performances in Steamboat Springs. “Beethoven’s enduring message of hope over adversity resounds so clearly and loudly that people will commemorate this towering Genius with celebrations all over the world for his 250th Birthday,” said Hwang-Williams. “I’m so thrilled to participate, along with several colleagues, in bringing his chamber music to outlying areas of Colorado for the Beethoven 2020 initiative. We hope to connect with these communities and share our passion for music through the universal language of Beethoven.” And the yearlong celebration only picks up steam from there as the second half of the Colorado Symphony’s 2019/20 Season positively overflows with repertoire from Beethoven’s illustrious career, showcasing the entire range of his brilliance as a composer. That includes performances of his spiritually expressive Missa Solemnis with the Colorado Symphony Chorus February 21-23, the inventive Fourth Piano Concerto featuring soloist Garrick Ohlsson April 3-5, and his beautifully tranquil Violin Concerto with soloist Simone Porter May 8-10. The 2019/20 Season culminates May 22-24 with Beethoven’s groundbreaking Third Symphony, the “Eroica” — a work which represented a true turning point in musical history as it bridged the Classical and Romantic eras. What’s more, thousands of students from throughout the Front Range will participate in 12 Youth Concerts at Boettcher Concert Hall throughout the 2019/20 Season, the focus of which will be Beethoven, his musical influences, and artists who were influenced by Beethoven himself. Following the conclusion of the 2019/20 Season, the Colorado Symphony will return to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre on July 26, 2020. In what will be one of the most awe-inspiring performances in the storied venue’s history, the Colorado Symphony

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

will perform Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony outdoors under the stars. This once-in-a-lifetime performance will feature nearly 500 musicians on stage as the full orchestra will be accompanied by a massive community chorus made up of the Colorado Symphony Chorus, Anschutz Chorus, and more, along with four vocal soloists for an outdoor musical experience unlike any ever seen in Colorado. “This Red Rocks performance is going to be truly special,” added Pierce. “Our state’s most iconic venue has hosted many of the greatest musicians of all time. But it’s never seen 500 musicians on stage at one time.” In September, a pair of full ensemble performances will take place with the Colorado Symphony hitting the road for concerts at the Montrose Pavilion and the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction. And later that month, a mid-sized ensemble will perform at the Fox West Theater in Trinidad. The tour concludes in November when Brook Fergusen, Principal Flute, leads a chamber ensemble in a performance of Beethoven repertoire at the Mancos Opera House. “As our proud name ‘Colorado Symphony’ suggests, we are Colorado’s only full-time symphony orchestra and have a commitment to reach the entirety of our state,” said Ferguson. “We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share the music of Beethoven with many audiences outside of the Denver metro area and to explore this music in a wide array of venues.” The Colorado Symphony’s 2020/21 Season schedule will be released in March 2020 with additional Beethoven repertoire still to come and additional tour dates to be announced as they become available. When the year concludes, over 100,000 Colorado residents will have experienced Beethoven throughout the state — from Denver to Mancos and Grand Junction to Fort Collins. Indeed, Colorado will have stood at the forefront of a worldwide celebration, commemorating the life and work of a cherished musical icon.

STORIES OF NOTE

Music inspires. Music is inclusive. Music binds our community together. By Nick Dobreff and Cecile Forsberg The Colorado Symphony is dedicated to serving our diverse community through engaging symphonic experiences, both within Boettcher Concert Hall and throughout Colorado. In that spirit, the Colorado Symphony along with the Denver Young Artists Orchestra and El Sistema Colorado combined to host the first-ever Denver Music Education Convening at the Colorado Symphony offices in downtown Denver on October 3 and 4, 2019. The goal of the convening was to identify and implement actions that increase equity, diversity, and inclusivity for Denver youth music education in a transformational, measurable, and sustainable manner. Undertaking that goal was a veritable who’s who of the Denver musical arts community, bringing together thirty-nine organizations including Denver Public Schools, Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), Universities, and numerous not for profit 501(c)3 organizations. “The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation was pleased to support this important convening,” said Gina Ferrari, Director of the Grants Program with the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation. “I was so impressed with the number and diversity of organizations participating, demonstrating the interest and need in finding strategies to address equitable access to music education. The convening’s collaborative and creative approach to identifying shared purpose and next steps was really inspiring and I’m excited about the possibilities moving forward.”

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

Through robust discussions – led by Team Tipton consultants – the convening discussed topics ranging from the definition of an active musical life, diversity of musical genres, and the impact of music education. There are many diverse organizations incorporating all genres of music through educational work. Some programs overlap while others are unique in and of themselves. The consensus in the room was that an active musical life will mean many things to many different people and all Denver youth should have access to these opportunities across our community. This convening was a shining moment for musical arts education in Denver as organizations came together across a variety of shared values to create the following ambitious vision statement: “We use music to amplify the silenced and reimagine community.” Team Tipton challenged the convening to define actionable steps to make this ambitious vision a reality and the participating organizations committed to creating a Denver Music Education Coalition. This coalition will engage all community stakeholders to define the mission and overarching vision of the coalition. “The Colorado Symphony was honored to host the inaugural Denver Music Education Convening in conjunction with DYAO and El Sistema Colorado,” said Jesse Martinez, Director of Community Education with the Colorado Symphony. “The opportunity to collaborate with a group of passionate organizations who are committed to improving equity, diversity, and inclusivity within Denver youth music education was inspiring and beneficial for all involved. We look forward to taking the next steps towards the creation of a viable Denver Music Education Coalition as we strive to create a lasting impact on youth music education in Denver for years to come.” Plans for an initial meeting are already underway with plans in motion to reach out to the community to ensure that all voices are represented at the table including students, performers, educators, parents, organizations, funders, and more.

MOVIE AT THE SYMPHONY BIOGRAPHIES ALEXANDRE DESPLAT, composer OSCARTM-winning composer Alexandre Desplat is one of the most coveted film composers in the world today. Desplat is noted for his collaborations with some of the world’s top filmmakers: Wes Anderson, George Clooney, Stephen Daldry, David Fincher, Stephen Frears, Tom Hooper, Ang Lee, Terrence Malick, Roman Polanski and Angelina Jolie garnering eight Academy Award nominations. Desplat first captivated American ears with The Girl with the Pearl Earring and Birth. The Golden Globe and Oscar winner has since scored a range of incredible films, eight of which have been Oscar-nominated: The Queen, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The King’s Speech, Argo, Philomena, The Imitation Game, and The Grand Budapest Hotel which won the 2015 Oscar for Best Score. Desplat’s most recent work includes Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken, Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game, Suffragette directed by Sarah Gavron and starring Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl Streep, and his second collaboration with Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) The Danish Girl starring Eddie Redmayne. Coming up next for Desplat is the period drama The Light Between Oceans directed by Derek Cianfrance starring Michael Fassbender, Florence Foster Jenkins starring Rebecca Ferguson and Meryl Streep, Illumination Entertainment’s The Secret Life of Pets starring Lake Bell and Kevin Hart, and Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story starring Felicity Jones and Mads Mikkelsen. Born to a Greek mother and French father, Desplat grew up in France with a budding love for Hollywood film music, and broke into the French film industry in the 1980s. With a penchant for lyricism, elegant orchestrations, and precise dramatization, Desplat has quickly joined the pantheon of all-time greats. “I was in a car with a friend who had offered me a double vinyl of Star Wars,” Desplat remembers. “It might have been ’78. He gave me this record, and I remember having said to him, “Hmm. ‘Music composed and conducted by John Williams.’ That’s what I want to do.” And that’s what I’m doing.”
