SUMMARY:Mahler 9
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 6:00 PM\nShow time: 6:30 PM \nMusic Director Peter Oundjian continues his tradition of closing the Festival season with a massive Mahler symphony. Composer Alban Berg once wrote of Mahler’s Ninth\, “The first movement is the greatest Mahler ever composed. It is the expression of a tremendous love for this earth\, the longing to live on it peacefully and to enjoy nature to its deepest depths – before death comes.” The myriad colors of life are present in the mighty Ninth\, throughout which Mahler grieves\, dances\, basks in sunlight\, and ultimately reflects on the enormity of it all.  \nArtists:\nPeter Oundjian\, conductor \nProgram:\nGustav Mahler\, Symphony No. 9

DESCRIPTION:Door time: 6:00 PM\nShow time: 6:30 PM \nBeethoven’s Third Piano Concerto finds the composer moving toward his own personal style\, displaying what would become his hallmark drama\, spirit\, and agitation; pianist Yeol Eum Son brings a “fearlessly fast articulation” (The Times) to the stage.

SUMMARY:Mozart & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00 PM\nShow time: 7:30 PM \nThe Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a spotlight on the Festival’s own musicians. Mozart once considered his Quintet in E-Flat for Piano and Winds “the best work I have ever written;” its sense of spontaneity is beguiling. Dvořák’s Third String Quartet was one of his most successful compositions; like much of his most popular work\, Op. 97 is flavored with melodies and rhythms he heard while visiting America\, including various folk tunes and Native American drumming. The program begins with Nico Muhly’s minimalist Doublespeak\, which was written as a gift for composer Philip Glass’ birthday and teems with stylistic rhythms and repetitions.    \nNote: To create a more intimate experience\, the number of seats available for chamber concerts is different than for our orchestral concerts. All price levels\, including our lowest\, are available in the main section of the auditorium. \nArtists:\nColorado Music Festival Musicians \nProgram:\nNico Muhly\, Doublespeak (2012)\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart\, Quintet for Piano and Winds in E-flat Major\, K. 452 \n— \nAntonín Dvořák\, String Quintet No.3 in E-flat Major\, op. 97

SUMMARY:Brahms 1 + Joan Tower’s World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00 PM\nShow time: 7:30 PM \nThese can’t-miss concerts bring together two Festival favorites: lauded composer Joan Tower\, whose concerto A New Day premiered at the Festival to rave reviews\, and saxophonist Steven Banks\, who stunned audiences in 2021. Now these powerhouses unite to give the world premiere of Tower’s saxophone concerto Love Returns under the baton of Music Director Peter Oundjian.

SUMMARY:Schubert\, Prokofiev & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00 PM\nShow time: 7:30 PM \nThe 2025 Robert Mann Chamber Music Series opens with a program highlighting the Festival’s own musicians. Schubert left his String Trio in B Flat\, D. 471 unfinished\, but its single complete movement is a Classical jewel full of spontaneity. Prokofiev’s dizzying Quintet in G Minor was originally written as a ballet based on Parisian circus life and features aggressive and ever-changing rhythms. Brahms’ Third Piano Quartet is at times unsettled; an autobiographical work for Brahms\, the music’s evolving moods reflect the composer’s own heartaches. \nNote: To create a more intimate experience\, the number of seats available for chamber concerts is different than for our orchestral concerts. All price levels\, including our lowest\, are available in the main section of the auditorium. \nArtists:\nColorado Music Festival Musicians \nProgram:\nFranz Schubert\, String Trio in B-flat Major\, D 471\nSergei Prokofiev\, Quintet in G Minor\, op. 39 \n— \nJohannes Brahms\, Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor\, op. 60

SUMMARY:Mahler 4 & Ravel’s Shéhérazade
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 6:00 PM \nShow time: 6:30 PM \n  \nMusic Director Peter Oundjian continues his tradition of ending the season with glorious music by Mahler. The composer built his Fourth Symphony around his own song “The Heavenly Life\,” which borrows text from a Bavarian folk poem. “The angelic voices gladden our senses\,” the poem proclaims\, “so that everything awakens for joy.” Mahler’s sunniest symphony invokes bells\, harp\, and woodwinds; in keeping with the lightness of the work\, Mahler insisted the soprano perform “with childlike\, cheerful expression;” soprano Karina Gauvin joins the Festival in this role. This final concert of the season includes Ravel’s colorful twist on the Shéhérazade tales — again featuring Gauvin’s “glowing\, flexible tone” (Opera News) — and the overture to Strauss’ most famous and farcical operetta\, Die Fledermaus.   \n  \nArtists:  \nPeter Oundjian\, conductor  \nKarina Gauvin\, soprano  \n  \nProgram:  \nJohann Strauss\, Overture to Die Fledermaus  \nMaurice Ravel\, Shéhérazade  \nGustav Mahler\, Symphony No. 4

DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00 PM \nShow time: 7:30 PM \n  \nThe Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a spotlight on the Festival’s own musicians. Haydn’s String Quartets achieved a new range of expression for secular music; his String Quartet C major\, Op. 20\, No. 2 is a diamond from start to finish. Debussy\, a master of impressionism and fantasy\, creates a quintessential dreamscape in his Sonata for Flute\, Harp\, and Viola. Instead of treating his string octet as two individual quartets\, Mendelssohn’s innovative Octet finds all eight musicians working tightly together in\, as the composer requested\, “symphonic orchestral style.”   \n  \nArtists:  \nColorado Music Festival musicians  \n  \nProgram:  \nJoseph Haydn\, String Quartet in C Major\, Op. 20\, No. 2  \nClaude Debussy\, Sonata for flute\, viola and harp  \nFelix Mendelssohn\, String Octet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20

DESCRIPTION:Door time: 6:00 PM \nShow time: 6:30 PM \n  \nBe the first to experience a brand new concerto by Gabriela Lena Frank\, heralded as one of the most significant women composers in history by the Washington Post. This exciting new work was commissioned by the Festival and will be performed by Boulder’s Grammy-winning Takács Quartet as ensemble-soloist alongside the Orchestra. After intermission\, Joan Tower’s brilliant Concerto for Orchestra allows for great moments of individual virtuosity\, but ultimately it is the entire Orchestra that shines. “I had imagined a long and large landscape that had a feeling of space and distance\,” Tower says of her Concerto for Orchestra\, in which the music “travels a long road.” This program celebrates three generations of women composers and opens with Florence Price’s Adoration\, originally conceived for solo organ and performed here in its stunning arrangement for strings.   \n  \nArtists:  \nPeter Oundjian\, conductor  \nTakács Quartet  \nGabriela Lena Frank\, composer  \n  \nProgram:  \nFlorence Price\, Adoration  \nGabriela Lena Frank\, world premiere  \nJoan Tower\, Concerto for Orchestra (1991)  \n

SUMMARY:Olga Kern & Grieg’s Peer Gynt
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00 PM \nShow time: 7:30 PM \n  \nWelcome back\, Festival favorite Olga Kern! Fresh off a celebration of Rachmaninoff’s 150th anniversary\, Kern performs his Second Piano Concerto — a success from its inception\, this memorable concerto’s themes that have been borrowed by countless films\, Sinatra songs\, and more. After intermission\, Colorado Public Radio’s Kabin Thomas narrates the outlandish tale of Peer Gynt\, a hopeless yarn-spinner who lies and sneaks his way through many misadventures and ultimately learns his lesson. Audiences will immediately recognize Grieg’s music\, including the unforgettable “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and “Morning Mood.” Guest conductor Rune Bergmann leads this crowd-pleasing program\, which opens with Vivian Fung’s inspirational Prayer.   \n  \nArtists:  \nRune Bergmann\, conductor  \nOlga Kern\, piano  \n  \nProgram:  \nVivian Fung\, Prayer (2020)  \nSergei Rachmaninoff\, Piano Concerto No. 2\, Op. 18  \nEdvard Grieg\, Suites from Peer Gynt
