The Colorado Symphony announces a summer season fueled by pop stars, video games, family fun and spectacular vocalists. The Colorado Symphony collaborates once more with some of the country’s biggest and brightest talent at Red Rocks, the Arvada Center, Fiddlers Green, and Boettcher Concert Hall for a summer of live music suited for taste. Single tickets go on sale for newly announced concerts Friday.
Five concerts highlight the virtuosity of the Colorado Symphony musicians at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this season: Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian open the season in June, followed by the duo of Ben Folds and Ingrid Michaelson. July features the Colorado Symphony’s and DeVotchKa’s annual collaboration, with special guest Kishi Bashi. The Colorado Symphony rounds out August with international sensation Video Games Live and Diana Krall featuring Pink Martini.
The season also showcases a star-studded Fourth of July conducted by Colorado Symphony Music Director Andrew Litton; a family-focused afternoon of music, “Inspired by Nature”; a costume-friendly night of the Music of Harry Potter; and a season-closing Rodgers & Hammerstein Celebration at Boettcher Concert Hall, which will be Scott O’Neil’s final performance as resident conductor.
Mozart is highlighted this summer at the Arvada Center Outdoor Amphitheatre and at Boettcher Concert Hall, the latter focusing on six powerhouse vocalists showcasing their talents in Mozart’s operatic works.
Summer concerts at Boettcher Concert Hall on sale Friday are: Mostly Mozart, July 11; The Music of Harry Potter, July 18; Family Day at the Symphony: Inspired by Nature, July 26; Audience Choice, Aug. 8 and Rodgers & Hammerstein Celebration, August 15.
