Even though winter returned to Colorado on Saturday night, spirits were high as patrons and guests gathered at the Fillmore Auditorium to celebrate The Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
The Colorado Symphony reprised their annual, smash-hit ball with a night of “Rock and Roll Royalty,” with performances by the Colorado Symphony and local rockers Tracksuit Wedding. Add an auction by Reggie Rivers and the Margaret Phipps Award for Philanthropy presented to Alexandra Elliott in memory of her husband John TM Wright, and you have a very memorable evening.
One of the leading orchestras in the United States, The Colorado Symphony performs more than 150 concerts annually at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver and across Colorado. Led by Music Director Designate Brett Mitchell, the Colorado Symphony is home to eighty full-time musicians, representing more than a dozen nations, and regularly welcomes the most celebrated artists from the world of symphonic music and beyond. Every season, the Colorado Symphony serves more than 250,000 people from all walks of life, performing a range of musical styles, from traditional to contemporary. Recognized as an incubator of innovation, creativity, and excellence, the Colorado Symphony continually expands its reach through education, outreach, and programming.
