Brett Mitchell leads Beethoven 9 at Red Rocks

DENVER — CPR Classical has published a preview of classical music events around Colorado during summer 2020, including Brett Mitchell’s performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Colorado Symphony and Chorus at Red Rocks, which the station dubs “the classical event of the summer.”

Some of the world’s best classical musicians come to Colorado each summer to perform at music festivals across the state. Free, family-friendly, and ticketed events abound, so get out your calendar and start dreaming about all the inspiring music coming to Colorado in 2020.

July 26, 2020 - Okay, this is not part of a festival, but the music and venue make this the classical event of the summer. The Colorado Symphony celebrates Beethoven's 250th birth anniversary with perhaps the largest force of musicians yet to perform at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, complete with full orchestra, a chorus of over a hundred voices plus soloists under Music Director Brett Mitchell. The spectacle is sure to be an awesome match for the beautiful view of Denver under a first quarter moon, should Beethoven's gloriously thunderous majesty not provoke the heavens during the course of the night.
