Colorado Symphony

A nonprofit organization

Your donation today amplifies the impact of live music across Colorado and enables us to break down barriers and embrace innovative programming. This past year, thanks to generous donors, we were able to: 

  • Expand in-school musician visits to six counties, addressing transportation inequities.
  • Bring music to the Mountains by adapting our chamber concert run out series to reach mountain communities.
  • Award $80,000 in financial aid to eliminate barriers to our Community Education programs and extend access to additional schools. 
  • Reach audiences in need through a partnership with the University of Colorado Cancer Center, where we performed on-site for patients, families, friends, and medical providers. 

Our future is brimming with exciting possibilities, and with your support we can bring the joy of music to every corner of Our State. Together, we can ensure that the Colorado Symphony continues to thrive while increasing accessibility to our community today and for future generations!

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.
