Colorado Symphony Orchestra turns its attention to nature for this program, pairing orchestral works built around the outdoors with the full sound of a symphony in Boettcher Hall. Expect sweeping, descriptive music, the kind meant to conjure mountains, rivers, and open sky through strings, brass, and percussion.
Boettcher Hall gives the orchestra room to stretch out, and a program themed this way tends to move between quiet, atmospheric passages and bigger, more dramatic swells. A solid pick for anyone who wants a full orchestral experience without needing prior knowledge of the repertoire.
