On its debut in 2021, the Colorado Symphony will perform outstanding features of Williams’ works under the stars, giving Red Rocks an unparalleled accompaniment. With over 150 concerts per year – proud of its diverse ensemble – it consists of 80 full-time musicians and represents over a dozen nations. The symphony is the only full-time and professional orchestra in the Front Range region.
“During the COVID-19 health pandemic, we worked to safely produce over 50 concerts, with and without an audience, including – 18 performances in Red Rocks Park and the Amphitheater, two large virtual community benefit concerts, and dozens of small ensemble concerts in numerous outdoor venues such as the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria, the Denver Zoo and the Denver Botanic Gardens, ”the symphony reads. In addition, the symphony’s virtual #PlayOn campaign has successfully generated two million views.
