Description
Designed as a special Thursday night event at Boettcher Concert Hall, the Outside the Box Series pushes beyond the traditional repertoire to spotlight music that is daring, immersive, and deeply connected to pivotal moments in art history. Featuring Colorado Symphony musicians as soloists and embracing programs that reward curiosity, this experience offers a deeper, more electrifying way to hear the orchestra.
Our final program in the Outside the Box Series throws the spotlight on virtuosity in all its unexpected forms. Principal Clarinet Jason Shafer shines in Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s electrifying Clarinet Concerto. Hear it alongside Stravinsky’s neoclassical "Dumbarton Oaks" and Gulda’s genre-bending Concerto for Cello and Wind Orchestra featuring Principal Cello Seoyoen Min. Led by Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon, this Outside the Box evening promises bold sounds, fearless playing, and a concert experience that breaks the rules in all the right ways.
