Boettcher Concert Hall

Boettcher Concert Hall sits inside the Denver Performing Arts Complex at 14th and Curtis, and it's the longtime home of the Colorado Symphony. The room is in the round, with seating that wraps the stage rather than facing it head on, which makes for a different kind of listening experience than a standard hall. Beyond the symphony's own programming, touring artists like Rufus Wainwright and Andrew McMahon come through, so the calendar leans toward songwriters and acts who suit a room built for acoustic clarity.

Parking is easy enough at the Denver Performing Arts Complex Garage at 14th and Arapahoe, running $10 to $15 depending on the night.
