Remember the boy band Hanson? Its members, who got their start in the early ’90s, aren't boys anymore. And their most recent partnerships with orchestras nationwide prove it. Hanson toured the world last year to mark its 25th anniversary; this year, to celebrate 26, the group is presenting the Hanson String Theory and sharing stages with orchestras around the country, including the Colorado Symphony. The program is being billed as "a musical manifesto with new and career-spanning works" from the band.
