Overview
A Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con v3.0
Christopher Dragon, conductor
Austin Wintory, special guest
BAM! POW! CRASH! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the concert hall, your Colorado Symphony returns with the third annual edition of A Symphonic Tribute To Comic Con upgraded to v3.0! Our celebration of all things Pop Culture will beam up some favorites, like the themes to "Doctor Who" and How to Train Your Dragon. You'll sense a disturbance in the Force as we debut music from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Hometown hero, Austin Wintory, returns once again to present excerpts from Assassin's Creed Syndicate and "The Gold Standard", a tribute to composer Jerry Goldsmith. With no other show that can contain it, we'll also have Christopher Tin's Epic Orchestral cover of Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'.
Sneak peek treat! Listen for a John Williams' classic from Raiders of the Lost Ark before we screen the film in next year's 16-17 season!
Fun for all ages with cosplay and costumes encouraged! As always, arrive early for some extra fun with our friends Denver Comic Con, Umbrella Corp. Denver, and the Dark Side's finest from 501st Legion Mountain Garrison! Girls of Geek 12 are returning with a podcast and live-tweet of the performance.
Travel through the Commonwealth Wasteland, over the rooftops of Gotham City, and the deserts of Jakku to Boettcher Concert Hall for a one-of-a-kind experience. Make it so!
