LineUp

An independent professional symphony orchestra based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 1927 and known for delivering brilliant live musical performances principally at the Pikes Peak Center.
Johannes Brahms, born in Hamburg, Germany, was a pivotal Romantic era composer. He masterfully blended classical forms with rich harmonies and lyrical melodies in his symphonies, concertos, and chamber music. Celebrated for works like "Hungarian Dances" and his "Lullaby," he is considered one of classical music's "Three Bs" alongside Bach and Beethoven, leaving an enduring legacy.
Igor Stravinsky, the Russian-born titan of 20th-century music, revolutionized classical sound with his bold rhythms and innovative harmonies. His iconic ballets "The Firebird," "Petrushka," and the riot-inducing "The Rite of Spring," created for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, remain cornerstones of modernism. He also explored neoclassicism and serialism.
Founded in 1959, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is a leading U.S. orchestra known for classical masterworks, contemporary music premieres, and a 50-year recording legacy. The ensemble opened its permanent home at the Bradley Symphony Center in 2021.
Pianist Yefim Bronfman, born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is renowned for his performances of modern Russian repertoire. A Grammy Award winner, he studied at Tel Aviv University and Juilliard, debuted with the New York Philharmonic in 1978, and won the Avery Fisher Prize in 1991.
Leipzig-born Ken-David Masur, son of Kurt Masur, is a dynamic conductor. He served as Music Director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and leads the Chicago Symphony's Civic Orchestra. Known for innovative programming and championing contemporary music, Masur earned a Grammy nomination for "Salon Buenos Aires" and founded the Chelsea Music Festival.
