About this Event
About the tour: Discover the unique Boettcher Concert Hall, the first ‘in the round’ symphony hall in the US. Its 2,600 seats surround the orchestra on all sides, providing an intimate and acoustically excellent experience. When it opened in 1978, it was the first new venue completed in the Arts Complex master plan. Hear how thoughtful design details—down to the shape of the seats—contribute to Boettcher's acoustic quality. The hall hosts classical, pops and film score programs, primarily by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
About the Arts Complex: The Denver Performing Arts Complex is one of the nation’s largest and most diverse in terms of venue sizes and types. It hosts performances ranging from classical orchestral music to touring rock and pop, ballet to modern dance and Broadway tours to immersive media/performance. The ten separate performance spaces are united by a single outdoor lobby, the Galleria.
