About COLORADO SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION

In recent seasons the Symphony has expanded community learning and youth initiatives — including bilingual family programs, discounted youth tickets, and musician mentorships with local programs such as El Sistema Colorado — while also raising and managing an operating budget in the high tens of millions of dollars.
