The Symphony Orchestra has performed in Boulder, Boettcher Hall in Denver, and Aspen and has recently appeared with such artists as cellist Johannes Moser, pianist Jeremy Denk, jazz pianist and Academy Award winning composer Dave Grusin, and singers Natalie Merchant and the Indigo Girls.  The orchestra enjoys a regular collaboration with the principal musicians of the Cleveland Orchestra during a biennial residency on the CU Boulder campus.
