WHERE: Boettcher Concert Hall at the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC), the 3rd largest performing arts complex in the U.S.! P.S. Boettcher was the first ‘in the round’ symphony hall in the U.S! 1000 14th St #15, Denver, CO 80202

WHAT: The Colorado Symphony is an iconic cornerstone of our state’s world-class culture scene. Don’t miss this spellbinding performance of Holst’s musical tribute to Earth’s celestial neighbors.

The unforgettable evening will also feature Brahms’ Schicksalslied “Song of Destiny” featuring the Colorado Symphony Chorus in a piece that expresses the profound chasm between gods and people and contrasts the happy and sheltered existence of the former to the hardships endured by the latter. Ravel’s La Valse, poeme choregraphique, and Valerie Coleman’s “Fanfare for Uncommon Times” round out a weekend of music offering an eclectic array of old and new led by guest conductor Eric Jacobsen.

WHY: Well-earned escapism, vicarious space travel and the life-affirming majesty of classical music. Plus you get to meet one of the most interesting, eclectic and impressive humans we know, Mark Cantrell!
