Under the vision and leadership of one of the most sought-after young conductors on the scene today, Michael Butterman, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra continues in a positive direction. Michael Butterman gained international attention as a diploma laureate in the Prokofiev International Conducting Competition and as a finalist in the prestigious Besançon International Conducting Competition.

Celebrating its 50th Anniversary this season, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1958, is a critically acclaimed, fully professional orchestra. Each season the orchestra presents dynamic programming, featuring masterpieces, promising new works, and both accomplished and emerging guest musicians and performing artists.

With a strong commitment to education and community outreach, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra provides several free concerts throughout the summer and in Boulder County classrooms through its Classroom Concerts Program. In addition, individual members of the orchestra teach classes both privately and through the Boulder Valley School District and Parlando School for the Arts. Classroom concerts alone reach more than 5,000 Boulder Valley school children each year.
