The Colorado Symphony Orchestra digs into two heavyweights of the Romantic repertoire here. Tchaikovsky's Fifth builds from a brooding opening theme into some of his most memorable brass and string writing, full of the drama he was known for. Saint-Saens' Third Violin Concerto pairs well with it, giving a soloist room to move through lyrical and virtuosic passages alike.
Boettcher Hall is the right setting for this kind of program, built specifically for orchestral sound. Expect a full evening of big, expressive playing from one of the state's main classical institutions.
