Transforming the Boulder Phil Experience

Step out of the traditional orchestra setting and into an immersive experience that breaks barriers and celebrates diversity. Geared to spotlight the musicians of the Boulder Phil, the Shift Series lifts the facade of the stereotypical orchestral concert. Performed in unique venues along the Front Range, talking, dancing, hoots, and hollers are not just allowed but encouraged!

BRASS & BREWS

Pair our selection of brass ensemble pieces with a cold brew… or two… or three. This immersive program infuses jazz and Afro-Cuban influences, serving a cocktail of familiar tunes and new delights, including Duke Ellington’s ‘Do Nothin’ Till You Hear from Me’ and Freddie Mercury’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’
