LineUp

Born in New York, conductor Marin Alsop studied at Yale and Juilliard. She is best known for breaking barriers as the first woman to lead major orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony and Vienna Radio Symphony. A MacArthur fellow and extensive recording artist, she founded the Concordia Orchestra.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, composed 1822-1824 and premiered in Vienna, is a revolutionary choral symphony bridging Classical and Romantic styles. It is renowned for its grand scale, complex structure, and pioneering inclusion of vocal soloists and chorus in its iconic "Ode to Joy" finale, based on Friedrich Schiller's poem. A masterpiece symbolizing universal brotherhood, it stands as the Anthem of Europe.
The Colorado Symphony is an American symphony orchestra based in Denver, Colorado, established in 1989 as the successor to the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Performing primarily at Boettcher Concert Hall and recognized as the region's only full-time professional orchestra, the ensemble features eighty full-time musicians and presents over 150 concerts annually, ranging from classical masterworks to pop collaborations and summer shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Its distinctive circular architecture places 80% of the audience within 65 feet of the stage, creating an intimate experience for performances by the Colorado Symphony and diverse touring artists, further enhanced by its unique suspended acoustic canopy.
