#DidYouKnow❓ | Volunteering is linked to better mental and physical health across age groups (Yeung et al., 2017) At DPO, that spirit is everywhere: in our volunteer musicians, and in the front-of-house team who keep every concert running with care. #TakeAStand for Volunteerism 💛

#DidYouKnow❓ | Volunteering is linked to lower stress, improved mood, and better overall health (Mayo Clinic, 2023) DPO thrives because people choose to give their time & talent. Nearly 80% of our musicians volunteer, and our front-of-house volunteers are integral to every concert.

Listening to Górecki's Symphony No. 3 (particularly the second movement), also known as Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Thinking of Minneapolis today.

We’re ringing in 2026 with a season full of passion, storytelling, and symphonic brilliance:

Our January #TakeAStand theme is #Volunteerism, celebrating the musicians & community members who make DPO run 💛 Nearly 80% of our orchestra is volunteer, and countless front-of-house volunteers help create the warm, welcoming experience you feel at every concert.

Happy New Year! 🥳 Here's to 2026 and all the concerts ahead! #ComePlayWithUs

A conductor in motion... 🎶 Looking forward to more beautiful music (and more Scott O'Neil) in 2026.

In rest until the new year...

Merry Christmas from DPO! We caught Santa winding down from his big night with a little light reading. 📖

Our basses are very proud of their tiny santa hats and would like to show them off, if you don't mind. 🎅

That Christmas week feeling... 🎄

Promise this music isn't redacted. It's just John Cage's piece 4'33"

Honored to have Michael Clifton of @radioforjustice.bsky.social speak at our #HolidayCheer evening concert. 🤝 Colorado has the 5th highest recidivism rate in the US. Our #TakeAStand partner CRJ tackles this through storytelling & support, helping justice-involved neighbors lead lives of purpose.

A huge round of applause for our friends at El Sistema Colorado! 👏 Their Winter Orchestras Concert at Mapleton Arts Center last week was a beautiful success. It was a joy to hear them perform before our matinee and to see their smiling faces lighting up our lobby.

I know this has nothing to do with classical music, but one thousand percent yes.

Look, we've heard of brand updates, but... woof... In case anyone's wondering, the DPO board is not changing our name ✌️

Thank you, Denver! 💙 Because of your generosity, we raised $21K through #ColoradoGives, fueling accessible, inclusive, community‑centered music all season long. 🎶✨ And what a weekend to celebrate! You packed both #HolidayCheer concerts with joy, laughter & music. 🎉

Saturday’s #HolidayCheer matinee at Mapleton Arts Center was a true gift. 🎁 A sold‑out crowd, festive music, and plenty of holiday spirit. Thanks for spending the afternoon with us! 💙

Sydney Harper is a star who knows how to find that camera. 🌟

Highlights from Friday night’s #HolidayCheer at Central Presbyterian! 📸🎅 Thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated the season with us!

Us after a weekend of holiday concerts, reppin our EDIA values to sold out crowds, and seeing the Broncos get their 11th win.

Happy Hanukkah from DPO! 🕎

You made our Christmas light, alright. Thanks for packing the MAC for #HolidayCheer! 🎄 Happy holidays to all and to all a good night!

Vocalist Sydney Harper is back blowing us away! 👏 #HolidayCheer #ComePlayWithUs

We're so so thrilled to be partnered with Colorado Radio for Justice! CRJ is right up Colorado Bluesky's alley, and I'm surprised more of y'all aren't following. They work hard for formerly incarcerated and currently incarcerated. It's an amazing mission led by an even more amazing team!

We’re bringing the Cheer! to Holiday Cheer! this year with a full #MoreThanMusic slate that includes: 🎅 Visit from Santa Claus — snap a festive photo or share your wish list 🔔 Carolers — sing along to holiday favorites in the lobby 🎄 Ornament Decorating — craft your own keepsake to take home

We asked our musicians what makes DPO special. Their answers say it all. 💙📯 Every #ColoradoGivesDay donation, big or small, helps keep the music (and our mission) alive: buff.ly/IiwIidd

On the 12th day of Givesmas, DPO gave to me… the people who make the music happen 🎺💙 We’re an award‑winning community orchestra where ~80% of our players volunteer (doctors, teachers, accountants, architects), and we’re proud to be a home for budding professional musicians to hone their craft.

On the 11th day of Givesmas, DPO gave to me… inclusive performances that welcome all senses ♿🎶 We build accessibility into every show: braille programs and ALDs handed out at every concert; haptic vests to feel the music; designated wheelchair seating; and service dogs in training welcomed.
