Red Rocks will soon host its first concerts since the coronavirus pandemic began
There will be concerts at Red Rocks this summer after all, as the Colorado Symphony performs a five-night acoustic series at the legendary amphitheater.
The symphony announced today that it will present “Acoustic on the Rocks” from July 29 to Aug. 2, the first live concerts for both Red Rocks and the Colorado Symphony since the start of the pandemic in March. Tickets sales are open to the public on AXS.com, and the event will have limited seating to adhere to coronavirus restrictions.
Christopher Dragon will conduct the symphony’s unplugged concert at the end of this month. Anthony Pierce, chief artistic officer for the Colorado Symphony, said fans can expect classical pieces from Mozart, Tchaikovsky and George Walker, the first African American composer to receive the Pulitzer Prize in music. Because of health restrictions at Red Rocks, the first concert will be only 20 musicians, with no microphones, no sound system, just instruments.
“We’re committed to sharing our art with people during a difficult time,” Pierce said in an interview with The Post on Thursday. “It’s an organic, natural, outdoor experience. It’s so unique. And it’s the beautiful backdrop of the city, the sunset. It’s going to be incredible.”
