Supporters of the Colorado Symphony enjoyed a champagne and dessert reception at the EDGE Restaurant and Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver following the opening night of the 2013-14 Masterworks Series. Renowned three-time Grammy Award winning saxophonist and composer Branford Marsalis, along with the Colorado Symphony Music Director Andrew Litton, opened the season with a performance at Boettcher Concert Hall. Immediately following the show, symphony donors headed to the Four Seasons for an opening night reception.
