Colorado Music Festival was recognized by BBC Music Magazine as one of the 25 best classical music festivals in the US & Canada in 2026.
“The stars are aligning, insists Colorado, as its half-century edition coincides with the Center for the Musical Arts’ 30th anniversary. It’s time to be forward-looking, though, and music director Peter Oundjian showcases two orchestral world premieres in a line-up including pianist Yuja Wang and an all-American programme conducted by Leonard Slatkin. Fast becoming a festival tradition, Mahler wraps things up, this year with the monumental Symphony No. 3.”
