Colorado Symphony Celebrates Legacy Of Arthur Fiedler And Bostonpops

The Colorado Symphony returns to the Arvada Center in a wonderful evening of music under the stars with their much-anticipated tribute to Arthur Fiedler on Thursday, July 21. A long-time conductor of the Boston Pops, Fiedler (1894 - 1979) brought fresh life to the "pops orchestra" sound and pioneered lighter concerts of popular masterworks, as well as the tradition of outdoor summer concerts and fifteen minute intermissions. In its tribute, the Colorado Symphony will perform an array of popular classics: works that hold both mass appeal and emotional ties for many music lovers. Concertgoers can look forward to works ranging from Johann Strauss Jr.'s Tales from the Vienna Woods to John Williams' score for E.T.: Adventures on Earth, as well as Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever and Willson's Symphonic Impressions from the score for the Broadway hit, The Music Man.

Two members of the Colorado Symphony also shine in this exceptional concert. Associate concertmaster Claude Sim performs the haunting Ashoken Farewell, and principal trumpet Justin Bartels performs the virtuosic Carnival of Venice – considered among the most demanding works in the repertoire.
