As the regionís only full-time professional orchestra, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (CSO) embraces a tradition of musical excellence by presenting a wide variety of symphonic performancesófrom classical repertoire to innovative new formsóin Boettcher Concert Hall, the first surround-sound concert hall in the United States.
Enriching the souls of music lovers of all ages with an 80+ year legacy of symphonic music in Colorado, the CSO plays a key role in making Denver and the Rocky Mountain Region an exciting place to live, work and raise families. Each season, approximately 325,000 patrons attend CSO concerts, including a 21-week Masterworks series of classical programs, as well as Pops, Family, Holiday and Summer Parks concerts.
Established in 1989 as the successor to the Denver Symphony, the CSO is Coloradoís only resident orchestra composed of professional musicians employed to play symphonic music on a full-time basis. Musicians actively participate in the management of the organization through significant participation on the Associationís Board of Trustees, as well as all governing committees.
The CSO has gained recognition on both the regional and national levels as one of the finest performing orchestras in the country. Many of the CSOís performances are broadcast on Colorado Public Radio to a state-wide audience. Reaching an even more expansive audience, a number of the CSOís programs are broadcast nationally on National Public Radioís Performance Today.
In April 2004, the CSO appointed Jeffrey Kahane, music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Santa Rosa Symphony, as the ninth music director in the 82-year history of the Denver and Colorado Symphony Orchestras.
