The Denver Post’s guide to classical music in Denver this fall highlights specific dates and programs to mark on your calendar, including a Sept. 4 Colorado Symphony Cello Ensemble concert and the orchestra’s season opener Sept. 11–13.
The Denver Post piece lists six concerts worth attention and calls out the Colorado Symphony’s mix of large-scale works and smaller, “Outside the Box” chamber events; it notes the Sept. 4 cello-ensemble show at Boettcher Concert Hall as an early pick. The Denver Post also describes the Sept. 11–13 opening as a homecoming performance of Beethoven’s Ninth with Music Director Peter Oundjian leading the orchestra and chorus.

Colorado Symphony’s own season brochure confirms the 2026/27 lineup and lists Beethoven’s Ninth on Sep 11–13 among its classics highlights. The organization’s season page also promotes the new Outside the Box series and movie-concert events such as Home Alone in Concert later this fall, showing the orchestra’s mix of traditional and popular programs.
Also singled out by The Denver Post is an Oct. 16 program with composer Joe Hisaishi performing with the Colorado Symphony, an example the paper uses to show how movie composers are drawing large crowds to orchestral halls. The Denver Post profiles the season’s variety, from Stravinsky and Bernstein programs to contemporary works by living composers.

The Colorado Symphony website lays out the season’s full schedule and ticket links, listing Classics highlights, movie concerts, and the new series described by The Denver Post — material that helps readers plan which of the six recommended concerts to attend. The season page also invites subscriptions and points readers to the full events calendar.
For readers using “A guide to classical music in Denver this fall – The Denver Post,” the two sources above together provide the concrete dates and program notes to plan visits: the Sept. 4 cello ensemble event, the Sep. 11–13 Beethoven Ninth opener with Gabriela Ortiz’s companion piece, and the Oct. 16 Joe Hisaishi performance are all mentioned by The Denver Post and reflected on the Colorado Symphony site.
