Colorado Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The Colorado Symphony performance of April 16 featured the remarkable artistry of the associate concert master, Claude Sim. My companion and I were swept away by the expressive performance of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. Mr. Sim's mastery of his instrument enabled a nuanced yet powerful interpretation of this beautiful melodic work. We left the concert on a high as did many others in the aduience, judging from their prolonged appreciation displayed at the end of the concerto. Recordings may be more "perfect" but will never come close to touching one's soul as does an intelligent,, heartfelt, live performnce such as this. Congratulations to conductor, Scott O'Neil, the orchestra members, and soloist!

We really didn't like the modern dancers at the Christmas concert. Would like to see way more of the Children's Chorale. We like to see a more traditional MUSIC concert. The dancing took away from the music.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon event! The music was great and the atmosphere was very relaxed and fun. Not my usual thing to do. I will go again in the future!

Jeffrey Kahane was amazing both at the piano and conducting! Spectacular performance all around!

It was amazing as usual. A great evening. We enjoy the music. The preformace was excellent.

The Mozart was a delight! What a nice, joyous, piece of music that just brought a smile to your face. It was like looking at a exquisite piece of fine china or crystal. Beautifully written by Mozart and performed by Kahane and the CSO! The Mahler was astounding! What a triumph! All the principal soloists were stunning, but I especially enjoyed the trumpet and the horn players. What a monumental piece of music! This was just a superb send off for Jeffrey Kahane!

Outstanding. Best performance by the director and orchestra in years. Too bad he is not going to be with us for another program year.

Mr Kahane was elegant at the piano and conducting the Mozart, while the Mahler was energetic, crisp, precise and massive all at the same time. Mr Kahane is able to lead the orchestra to produce a very lovely sound indeed. He will be missed as he now moves on from the Colorado Symphony.

I was at the dress rehearsal, the friday night concert and the sunday matinee concert as well. The performers were absolutely wonderful, both singers and players. The denver audience was more partial to the Beethoven 9th symphony, as it was by far the most familiar. But the John Adams composition, ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF SOULS, (composed to honor those who died in the 9/11 attack on the world trade center), was striking, deeply moving, modernistic in it's use of dissonance, but perfect in striking the audience in the heart with its message of sorrow, pain and horror, but with many solemn moments of quiet and thoughtfullness. I strongly recommend that you purchase the cd that's available of the first performance with the n.y. philharmonic. These performers outdid the N.Y. forces in my estimation. Both pieces were electrifying to the nearly sold out house on all 3 occasions.

I DID NOT ENJOY THE FIRST SELECTION 'ON THE TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS' AT ALL. JUST MONOTONOUS DEPRESSING MUSIC. DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHER GREAT PIECES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED WITH THE COLLECTED CHORUS'S THAT WERE PRESENT. BEETHOVEN'S 9TH WAS AVERAGE AT BEST. THERE WERE SOME VERY GOOD INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES, BUT AS A WHOLE IT WAS AVERAGE.
