Last week, the Colorado Symphony debuted the first four concerts of its Acoustic on the Rocks series at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, all of which sold out. This month, the orchestra will continue its run of shows in the series with the Colorado Symphony Strings and a new set of performances with the Colorado Symphony Brass and Percussion Ensembles.
Resident conductor Christopher Dragon heads up each performance. The shows from August 12 through 16 will mirror last week's performances with twenty Colorado Symphony string musicians performing Mozart's Divertimento in D Major, K. 136, Walker's Lyric for Strings, Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances and Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings. Colorado Symphony Brass & Percussion ensembles, with nineteen musicians in all, will play a classical and pops repertoire August 19 through 23.
Each of these programs will be 75 minutes long and will not have an intermission. Total ticket sales will be limited to each performance and audiences will be seated in a socially distanced setup throughout the amphitheatre. Tickets, $65, go on sale at 10 a.m. on August 7 at the Colorado Symphony website.
