The esteemed Colorado Symphony will regal audiences at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre in Grand Lake.

The concert will be Saturday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. Members of the Denver-based Colorado Symphony will travel to Grand Lake for this one-night only performance. Grand Lake Creative District — a Colorado-certified hub for arts, culture, and heritage — partnered with Rocky Mountain Rep for this cultural event.

“The performance marks a continuation of this successful partnership, which aims to expand Grand Lake’s cultural offerings while supporting the year-round economy,” the Grand Lake Creative District stated in a news release. “Previous events have featured prestigious groups such as Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and the Colorado Ballet.”

The following ensemble of musicians will play: Yumi Hwang-Williams (violin, concertmaster), Dorian Kincaid (violin), Phillip Stevens (viola), Chloe Hong (cello), August Ramos (bass), Nick Davies (clarinet), Patrick Hodge (horn), and Roger Soren (bassoon).

The musicians will be performing two works by early 19th-century, Austrian composer Franz Schubert: String Trio in B-Flat Major, D. 471 and Octet in F Major, D. 803.

Jennifer Mace, Rocky Mountain Rep’s communication manager, stated the collaboration between the theater and the creative district means more than just a single symphony performance. It’s also about providing cultural enrichment and extending theater entertainment into the fall, after Rocky’s regular season ends.

“By bringing in world-class artists, we not only attract visitors during the shoulder season but also provide new and different experiences for our local residents, who are often busy working during the summer,” Mace expressed.

The partnership is also supported by the community. For the symphony show, Mountain Parks Electric, Gateway Inn, Sagebrush BBQ & Grill and Rockies of Grand Lake have all pitched in.

Previous performances that the creative district and the theater have organized have been popular.

“After our first performance, we noticed that many of the restaurants and hotels were busy again in October,” stated Susan Struna, a Grand County library district board member who helps bring performers to Grand Lake. “The generosity of our community is incredible. Many local businesses donate lodging and meals for the performers, showing how much we all value these artistic events and their positive impact on the town’s economy.”
