Colorado Symphony
Boettcher Concert Hall
Denver, CO
December 14-16, 2018
A Colorado Christmas is a holiday tradition at the Colorado Symphony. It’s a concert with a sampling of music that will satisfy every taste. Even though it is an annual event, the lineup of songs changed significantly from last year.
This year’s selections were less familiar than previous years. They included “Ceremony of Carols,” “Hodie Christmas” and “A Christmas Festival.”Soloist Devin DeSantis led the audience in a sing along of more famous songs and performed the essential selections by Irving Berlin. And right before intermission was “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” performed by the Colorado Children’s Choral joined by Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Always a favorite were the selections from Too Hot to Handel. The Hallelujah Chorus created a joyful moment in the show. And it wouldn’t be complete without “Sleigh Ride” where the audience actually got to see all the musical special effects.
As always, A Colorado Christmas provided the musical backdrop for the holiday season. It was a wonderful way for families to celebrate and expose their children to classical music.
