Colorado Symphony

A nonprofit organization

A gift today directly fuels artistic growth and allows us to continue creating dynamic, inspiring performances. Thanks to generous donors, we achieved many milestones this past year:

  • We filled Boettcher Concert Hall with the energy of 7,000 fans during our sold-out debut of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – In Concert, one of seven Movie at the Symphony events last season. 
  • We celebrated the Colorado Symphony Chorus’ 40th anniversary, a testament to their tireless devotion, contributing over 2,000 volunteer hours across 14 unforgettable programs.
  • We welcomed the phenomenal Yuja Wang for her Colorado Symphony debut as one of only eleven orchestras on her U.S. tour. 
  • We welcomed Cynthia Erivo for an unforgettable sold-out Gala performance that none of us will soon forget.  

Together, we create art that reflects, uplifts, and celebrates our vibrant community. If you love music, you belong here with us at Boettcher Concert Hall. We are so grateful you’re with us.

Background Statement

The Colorado Symphony was originally established in 1922 as the Denver Civic Orchestra, which became the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Following a bankruptcy filing In 1989, a group of musicians and community leaders came together to form the Colorado Symphony, under a collaborative model with shared leadership between musicians, board members and staff. The model includes active participation by musicians in all aspects of the Colorado Symphony's governance and operation. Today, the Colorado Symphony continues to build a reputation for innovative programming, artistic excellence and community enrichment.
