The Colorado Symphony Orchestra digs into two big Romantic works here. Tchaikovsky's Fifth builds from a brooding opening theme to a full brass-heavy finish, the kind of symphony that earns its ending. Pair that with Saint-Saens' Third Violin Concerto, a showcase for whoever takes the solo line, and you get a program built on melody and drama in equal measure.
It happens at Boettcher Hall in Denver, home turf for this orchestra and a fitting place to hear both composers at full scale.
