About this concert
We close our season with Beethoven’s monumental "Missa Solemnis," a work the composer himself regarded as his greatest. This composition is deeply personal yet other-worldly, encapsulated by Beethoven's dedication, "From the heart, may it go to the heart," and his poignant note before the Agnus Dei, "A prayer for inner and outer peace." These sentiments reflect a modern resonance, suggesting the cultivation of inner peace as a foundation for harmony in the world. The "Missa Solemnis" is an ambitious and profound work, featuring demanding choral writing, a sublime violin solo in the Benedictus, and numerous powerful moments that leave a lasting impact.

Boulder Philharmonic Biography

Voted “Best of Boulder” for the past five years in a row, today’s Boulder Phil is bucking national trends with growing, enthusiastic audiences under the vision and leadership of Music Director Michael Butterman.
The Boulder Phil’s main concert series is presented at Macky Auditorium, a historic jewel on the University of Colorado campus. From multi-genre productions featuring dance, choral and visual elements to concerts with a unique hometown flavor, the Phil’s imaginative programming has resulted in increasing numbers of sold-out concerts and nationwide notice in Symphony Magazine.
