After more than two years of patient, purposeful work—filled with careful listening, thoughtful conversation, and a shared hope for the future—the Colorado Springs Philharmonic stands on the edge of something new. A new Music Director is coming. But not just yet.
Right now, we are in that rare and fleeting pause before a new beginning. Like the hush before the conductor lifts the baton. Like the breath taken before the first note. It’s a moment thick with promise, shaped by all that has come before.
For nearly a century, this orchestra has been part of the cultural rhythm of Colorado Springs. We’ve played through seasons of war and peace, in times of celebration and sorrow. The Philharmonic has grown alongside the city—resilient, evolving, and always reaching for something higher.
And in that, we are no different from the great human story. Across centuries, across continents, music has always marked the turning points—crowning our greatest triumphs, offering solace in our struggles, and reminding us that beauty and meaning are never far away. In choosing a new Music Director, we’re not just hiring a leader; we’re inviting someone to help shape the soundtrack of our shared future.
That decision is nearly made. Behind the scenes, final preparations are underway. The announcement is coming soon.
And when it arrives, we’ll turn the page together. A new chapter will begin.
Until then, we wait. Quietly. Eagerly. Listening for the first, unforgettable downbeat.
