District Partnerships

Witness the transformative power of your district’s arts programs as we turn the Pikes Peak Center into a multi-stage showcase. These exclusive seasonal events are dedicated to a single school district, featuring premier choirs, bands, and ensembles performing throughout the venue before and after the main Philharmonic concert. It is a prestigious platform to highlight the diverse musical excellence thriving within your schools for a community-wide audience.

Elevate your entire music program by placing your students on center stage with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. This exclusive annual collaboration is awarded to only one partner district per year, pairing student excellence with professional artistry under the baton of Maestro Thomas Wilson.

Celebrate the next generation of Colorado Springs musicians through our “Nightcap” series. This unique program bridges the gap between professional and student performance by inviting local ensembles to perform for Philharmonic patrons immediately following a concert.

Elevate your music program with Conductor in the Classroom, a premier opportunity for your ensembles to rehearse under the baton of Music Director Chloe Dufresne, Associate Conductor Thomas Wilson, or one of our world-renowned guest artists.

This high-impact experience is offered as an exclusive perk for our district and school partners who participate in District Night or serve as Lobby Performers.

Step inside the rehearsal room for an intimate look at how a world-class performance comes together. Attendees will get a front-row seat to the communication and artistry that define the Philharmonic, all in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Through this special partnership initiative, we offer a limited number of “last-minute” complimentary tickets to district employees when additional seating is available. Notifications are sent directly to partner districts during the week of a performance.
