Colorado Springs Philharmonic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Colorado Springs Philharmonic is Southern Colorado's only fully-professional resident orchestra. The current music director is Lawrence Leighton Smith.
The Philharmonic is a tenant of the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado and offers regional elementary schools a program of Young People's Concerts and other outreach programs, along with orchestral performance. The Orchestra was formerly known as the Colorado Springs Symphony Orchestra until that organization declared bankruptcy in January 2003. On March 17, 2003, the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra was incorporated.
Each season, the Philharmonic presents 7 Classical Masterworks performances, 4 Pops concerts, 3 Family concerts and a series of holiday performances including Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Ballet with live dancers and sets, a Christmas program, and a New Year's Eve program. All of these take place at the Pikes Peak Center. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic also presents more intimate concerts in its Mozart and Friends series, which are often held at area churches.
