COLORADO SYMPHONY ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF BEETHOVEN AND BREWS TO BLUE MOON BREWING COMPANY – RINO
Brett Mitchell leads the Colorado Symphony in performances of two Beethoven Overtures and more on October 10, 2018
July 9, 2018 – Denver, CO – The Colorado Symphony announces the next installment in their Beethoven and Brews series with Music Director Brett Mitchell conducting the Colorado Symphony in a performance featuring two of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most beloved Overtures at Blue Moon Brewing Company – RiNo. Cellist Judith McIntyre performs as featured soloist on Elgar’s Sospiri and the ensemble rounds out the evening with works by Falla and Kodaly. The event will take place on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
A fan favorite since debuting in 2015, the Beethoven and Brews series pairs delicious beer with great music for an unforgettable and homegrown front-range experience. This will be the second Beethoven and Brews event at Blue Moon Brewing Company – RiNo, following an unforgettable performance of Beethoven Symphony No. 1 on March 7, 2018.
“The orchestra and I are so excited to bring Beethoven and Brews back to Blue Moon for another night of incredible music and beer,” says Music Director Brett Mitchell. “One of the coolest things about playing at Blue Moon is that the atmosphere is really intimate, which helps us break down the wall between us and our audience. We can’t wait to share this fantastic music (and beer) with everyone on October 10!”
