RMPBS follows the efforts of the Colorado music industry, including the Colorado Symphony, to re-start and re-engage with music lovers and audience members during the summer and fall of 2020. Colorado Symphony musicians Karen Kinzie and Peter Cooper were interviewed as part of this project and can be seen starting at the 6:19 mark. 

Longtime Colorado Symphony trombonist Paul Naslund talks with Rocky Mountain PBS about the effect of COVID-19 on the orchestra.

"The long-term future of the orchestra, the long-term future of all music around Denver has a lot of promise. I think a lot of people are going to bounce back once we can all get back inside.”

Due to COVID-19, the annual Latin Beats: Sonidos de las Américas concert went virtual this year. Check out a clip from this virtual concert presented by Telemundo Denver in conjunction with the Mexican Cultural Center and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.

In the face of COVID-19 cancellations, members of the Colorado Symphony, who had planned to spend 2020 celebrating Ludwig Van Beethoven's birthday, decided to play a virtual, socially distanced, online rendition of "Ode to Joy." The instrumental take on the hopeful song kept us all going as the pandemic crashed into Denver. It's time to play it again.

Tune into coloradosymphony.org starting Dec. 18 for “A Colorado Christmas,” a family-friendly, virtual show streamed from Boettcher Concert Hall. Directed by Taylor Martin, it includes Denver vocalist Devin DeSantis narrating ” ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” carols, “new winter tunes, and even some newly arranged surprises,” according to the Symphony. Groups include the Colorado Symphony, Colorado Symphony Chorus and Colorado Children’s Chorale.
