About Youth Concerts
Each year, thousands of students, teachers, and families come to Boettcher Concert Hall for this captivating, immersive concert experience. Colorado Symphony’s Youth Concerts provide school-day orchestral performances well-suited for all, regardless of age or familiarity with classical music. Forever committed to delivering unforgettable live symphonic experiences, the concerts feature local collaborators from varying genres and disciplines to reshape what you can expect from a symphonic performance. Using a guiding theme, the concerts explore the connection between people, places, and ideas through classical music and beyond.
We are proud to offer a cross-curricular unit plan for teachers and students to use prior to the concert, aligned with the Colorado Department of Education’s State Standards.
