About the Boulder PhilAs one of Colorado’s premier

ensembles, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is creating a new model for American orchestras through dynamic performances that reflect our community’s own values, creativity, and sense of place. Voted “Best of Boulder” yet again in 2015, today’s Boulder Phil is bucking national trends with growing, enthusiastic audiences under the vision and leadership of Music Director Michael Butterman.

The Boulder Phil’s main concert series—broadcast state-wide on Colorado Public Radio—is presented at Macky Auditorium, a historic jewel on the University of Colorado campus. From multi-genre productions featuring dance, choral and visual elements to concerts with a unique hometown flavor, the Phil’s imaginative programming has resulted in increasing numbers of sold-out concerts and nationwide notice in Symphony Magazine. In recent seasons the Phil has collaborated with an impressive 45 local organizations, encompassing arts, science, nature, youth, social services and more. By going beyond simply performing great music, we strive to connect ever more people to the inspiring power of orchestral music.

Recognized as “Boulder’s premier orchestra” (Boulder Weekly), the Boulder Phil is comprised of the top freelance musicians from Colorado’s Front Range and beyond. Founded in 1958, the Boulder Phil became a fully professional ensemble under the leadership of Theodore Kuchar, whose tenure as music director began in 1996. Today the Boulder Phil reaches audiences of over 20,000, with performances from Arvada to Highlands Ranch as well as regular invitations to perform at the prestigious Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek.

The Boulder Phil strives to inspire the next generation of music-lovers through Discovery Concerts that have reached thousands of 4th and 5th grade students in 28 schools across three counties. For decades the Phil has also fostered new talent with the annual Young Artist Concerto Competition, and Boulder Phil musicians provide mentorship through side-by-side concerts with the Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and Front Range Youth Orchestras. In all these ways, the Boulder Phil strives to be at the center of our community’s cultural fabric.

About the Boulder BalletThe origins of Boulder Ballet begin with the Ballet Arts Studio, founded by former American Ballet Theatre dancer Larry Boyette and British dancer Barbara Demaree. The first performing company, Boulder City Ballet, was founded in 1982 by Barbara Demaree and Wanda Tierney. In 1985 the company changed its name to Boulder Ballet Ensemble, and in 1995 to Boulder Ballet. Since 1989, Boulder Ballet has enjoyed a partnership with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra in presenting classical ballets complete with professional scenery, costumes, lighting designs, and casts of up to 100 dancers. Our rich history includes bringing classic, contemporary, and uniquely theatrical ballet to an audience that stretches from Estes Park to Highlands Ranch, in venues from the 2,000-seat opera house Macky

Auditorium, to historic Boulder Theater in downtown Boulder, and to outdoor amphitheaters throughout the Denver-metro area.

Boulder Ballet has had a number of strong influences including the versatile artistry of past artistic directors Milenko Banovich (Zagred Ballet), Robin Haig (Royal Ballet), and John Prinz (American Ballet Theatre).

Artistic Director Ana Claire and recently appointed Associate Artistic Director Lance Hardin continue to build on the proud tradition of artistic excellence through innovation. With a profound respect for their art, the duo will continue challenging their dancers and enlightening their audiences with versatile productions from the contemporary Stepping Out to the classic The Nutcracker to the timeless tale of Cinderella. The company’s season has been expanded and refined with performances that currently reach over 20,000 in the Denver Metro area and beyond.

The Boulder Ballet School (BBS) provides ballet training for all ages, pre-school through adult, in a uniquely artistic and creative atmosphere. As a professional-track ballet school, BBS challenges students dedicated to pursuing dance as a career, but also welcomes those who dance purely for enjoyment.

Boulder Ballet classes are held in three spacious studios at the Dairy Center for the Arts in central Boulder and Artistic Director Ana Claire has successfully recruited an outstanding faculty with international performing and teaching experience. The seven-level curriculum is designed to produce well-rounded artists who achieve not only technical proficiency but also an essential expressive quality in their dancing.

A unique feature of the school is the largest dance program in the region developed specifically for boys. Geared towards ages nine and above, this program includes Boyz Dance—a mix of dance, mime and juggling—and Boys Ballet, which focuses on the male classical technique.

BBS students have excelled in a number of competitions, including the world’s largest, the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), where BBS students have won first-place awards and the regional Grand Prix (single highest award), and have been invited to perform in New York City among the world’s finest young dancers. Former BBS students have gone on to dance with world-class companies including American Ballet Theatre, Ballet British Columbia, Hubbard Street Dance, Mark Morris Dance Group, Miami City Ballet, Norwegian National Ballet, England’s Royal Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet, to name a few.

Boulder Ballet now looks to an exciting future under the artistic direction of Ana Claire and Lance Hardin, including continuing collaborations with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, additional outreach programs, and new choreographic explorations.

“Mr. Butterman’s energetic spirit and great sense of humor really make the concerts come alive.” - BVSD teacher

The Boulder Philharmonic believes that live orchestral music is for everyone and is committed to providing a wide array of opportunities for people throughout our community to encounter the life-enriching power of classical music.

• Discovery Concerts introduce young students throughout the Boulder Valley School District and beyond to live symphonic music. Using a tailored Curriculum Guide that complements their core music curriculum, educators prepare students for the 50-minute interactive performance at Macky Auditorium – an experience that many students describe as “the best field trip of the year!” Sign up your school today for our next Discovery Concert at Macky on Thursday, February 11, 2016.

• “Michael Butterman Goes to School” Visits are a key part of the Phil’s Discovery Concert program, as our Music Director visits classrooms to introduce students to musical concepts, instrument families, music appreciation skills, and more. New this year, with support from the Noris Foundation, Boulder Phil chamber groups will also be visiting schools!

• Side-by-Side Youth Concerts feature talented young musicians from Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and Front Range Youth Symphony alongside professional musicians from the Boulder Phil, who provide valuable mentorship to these students as they rehearse and perform together.

• Young Artist Concerto Competition is open to all young musicians in Colorado, who compete for an opportunity to perform as a soloist with the Phil.

• $5 Student Tickets to every Masterworks concert make attendance easy for young people, up to and including college students! Phone or walk-up sales only.

Your financial gift or volunteer work in support of our education programs is critical to our success in enriching our community through music. For more information on becoming involved, please contact Cynthia Sliker, Director of Community Engagement, at 303-449-1343 ext. 4.

Sign up your school today for the Discovery Concert on Thursday, February 11, 2016!


Boulder Phil Education and Community


Boulder Ballet’s Commitment to CommunityFormer Boulder Ballet Artistic Director Peter Davison

once said, “Everything we do grows out of community.” He was not just speaking of choreography and artistic vision. He was also speaking of the impact of sharing and connecting through the art of ballet. Boulder Ballet has grown and flourished for more than a quarter of a century on the Front Range; our roots are deep in Colorado. So, too, is our commitment to community through education and outreach programs. Our primary goal is to reach those students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience dance and movement.

Since its inception more than a decade ago, Steps in Time remains a much-requested educational outreach program. Originally choreographed by Ana Claire, the assembly-format program seamlessly illustrates the history of ballet and its continuing influence on all forms of dance. Through beautiful choreography, humorous narration, and powerful dancing by our professional company, Steps in Time moves students beyond stereotypes and opens their eyes to the precision, expression, and athleticism of ballet.

Each year this lively, interactive education program is presented to over 4,000 students in five different Front Range counties. In particular, Boulder Ballet reaches out to a large number of Title 1 schools—often with few arts resources—and students in free/reduced lunch programs. For many of these children, it is their first exposure to ballet, and they love it.

Boulder Ballet’s artist-in-residence program for elementary schools, Poetry of Motion, features a Boulder Ballet instructor in residence at the school for up to two weeks. This program is designed to make a long-lasting impact on the minds and hearts of the students through the integration of dance and movement into the school’s curriculum. Poetry of Motion is focused on teaching students the value of creative expression without judgment. Through the integration of dance and movement, the program inspires confidence in creative expression, joy in collaborating with others, and passion for interpretive dramatic art, all based around state standards for Physical Education. Using fun exercises and games, students explore the realm of bodies in motion and imaginative expression. The model is group-oriented and playful. The cumulative effect of immersion over a two-week period builds students’ skills and confidence.

New for the 2015/16 school year, the week-long artist-in-residence program Reach the Summit brings Boulder Ballet to the middle school level to build on past participation in existing programs and introduce a cross-disciplinary element that directly links earth science and arts curricula. The mission of the new middle school program focuses on the 3 C’s: building community, developing students’ skills directly related to their school curriculum, and fostering creativity through dance, health, and fitness.

Boulder Ballet is equally committed to the successful community outreach programs Open Previews and Ballet in the Park. Since 2005, we have reached over 16,000 underserved individuals who are frequently excluded from exposure to the performing arts. These two programs were specifically designed to remove the financial barrier to participation. Through Open Previews, Boulder Ballet works with key social-service organizations to distribute free tickets to full-scale final dress rehearsals of our major productions—including the ever-popular Nutcracker in collaboration with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra. Our free, outdoor summer concert series, Ballet in the Park, also reaches out to low-income families, teens in crisis, struggling single parents, and seniors on fixed incomes as well as the community at large in an effort to make the arts accessible to all.

EXPERIENCES

“…Thank you for doing such a terrific job selling my home. You advertised it well, negotiated a top selling price and you followed through like a true professional. To say the least I was extremely impressed with the results you produced! …an outstandingRealtor and a great guy.” Jimmy Calano

“…We still have not forgotten the conscientious and professional service you gave us as the listing broker. After having the house listed for over six months with one of your competitors and never hearing from him, it was a pleasant surprise to get periodic updates from you and to ultimately hear that you had a Buyer.” Frank Pool

“…You not only sold my property but, you also got the highest price paid on any comparable unit during the last two years. Your professional assistance and continuous monitoring of the situation was of the highest quality I have seen since my employment with the Lomas and Nettleton Banking Company.” Eric A. Conger

“…Gary seems to have a remarkable ability to work with people. He was able to buoy up my spirits at a time that I was feeling rather discouraged about selling my place. I appreciated his relaxed manner and his enthusiasm, as well as the patience with which he explained the listing contract and finally the sales contract.” Maris Whitaker

“…Gary Hillman achieved the impossible! I had a home to sell that needed work. Gary gave me excellent advice about the local situation and about how to fix it up –and then sold it within 40 hours of it being listed”. Aline Chipman Brandauer

“…Gary’s performance thru the process of listing, showing and selling the property was very professional. He was candid in his assessment of market conditions, prompt and accurate in providing information we requested & attentive to our needs”. David McInerney

“…We believe that your services were above and beyond the call of duty. You also communicated with us on a regular basis, as you said you would, about the status of your marketing efforts, and with suggestions to enhance the saleability of the property. We certainly would offer you our highest recommendation should the need arise.” Roger Miller,

“…It was only through your persistence & hard work that resulted in the sale of my property at the best possible market value. Having worked with a number of real estate agents in various parts of the country where I have lived or owned property, you have been one of the most effective and results oriented professionals that I have come across in your line of work.” Demetrios Lignos

• What others say... "...Gary Hillman is the most professional & well-informed Realtor that I have workedwith over the years. His professionalism and integrity are unsurpassed. I have owned RE in New York, Maui, Littleton, Westminster & Boulder. In all of these circumstances, Gary Hillman stands head and shoulders above all other Realtors with whom I have worked."

• What others say..."As a lawyer practicing in Boulder for 10 years, I have worked with dozens of Realtorsin many different types of real estate transactions. You are without a doubt the finest Realtor in Boulder"

Our Nutcracker StoryACT ONE

It’s Christmas Eve and a young girl, Clara, is put to bed by her parents as they leave for a party. Quickly asleep, she dreams she is at a festive Christmas Eve party surrounded by family and friends. Clara’s uncle, the mysterious Drosselmeyer, arrives and entertains the children with magic tricks, juggling, and life-size dancing dolls. He gives Clara a nutcracker doll that she adores, but her brother Fritz is envious and steals it, tripping and breaking it. Drosselmeyer quickly mends it with his magic handkerchief.

The party ends and Clara goes off to bed, forgetting her nutcracker doll. When she returns to look for it in the darkened living room, she finds Drosselmeyer still there. Suddenly, midnight strikes and strange things begin to happen. Human-sized mice dart through the shadows, the Christmas tree grows to astounding heights, and huge rats appear led by the fearsome Rat King. Then toy soldiers and the Nutcracker (now life-size) march in to protect Clara and engage the rats in a fierce battle. When the Rat King knocks the Nutcracker to the floor, Clara takes her shoe and strikes a fatal blow to the Rat King’s head.

The battle over, Clara finds herself in a snow-covered forest, and discovers that she has become a young woman. Then she sees that the Nutcracker, recovering from the battle, is now a handsome prince. They embark together on a journey through a snow-covered forest with dancing snowflakes and frost.

ACT TWOContinuing to dream, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince are led by Drosselmeyer through the realm of angels, who escort them to the Land of Sweets. They are welcomed by dignitaries and are presented to the Queen, Sugar Plum Fairy. She asks how her visitors won admission to her land, and the Prince reenacts the battle with the Rat King including Clara’s heroic rescue. The people of the Land of Sweets rejoice over the victory and award Clara a crown and the key to their kingdom.

Sugar Plum Fairy delights Clara and her Prince with a tour of the Land of Sweets. Dancers from Spain, Arabia, China, and Russia entertain the visitors. The Marzipan dance to the music of reed flutes. Then a larger-than-life Mother Ginger, her baker’s dozen of gingerbread cookies, and Sugar Plum Fairy herself perform for the guests. Finally, the Dew Drop Fairy and her flower garden dance in the Waltz of the Flowers.

Clara awakens from her dream, once more a little girl. Then Drosselmeyer appears and places her nutcracker doll in her arms before vanishing. Was her dream real…or is this a dream yet to come?

Your Phil Goes to DC...

The Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra has been chosen to participate

in the new weeklong SHIFT Festival, taking place at the Kennedy Center in

Washington, DC, from March 27 through April 2, 2017. This inaugural, high-profile music festival showcases four orchestras and

provides a national platform to celebrate creativity and community engagement. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, North Carolina Symphony, and

the Brooklyn-based ensemble, The Knights, chosen from a pool of submissions from orchestras across North America, will also be participating. More details on the Boulder Phil’s involvement in this signature event will be forthcoming.

“I am thrilled and honored that we’ve been selected to perform in our nation’s capital

alongside some of the finest orchestras in the country... By connecting people to

orchestral music, the Boulder Phil strives to be an essential part of our community's cultural fabric. We couldn’t be more delighted to share

what’s working so well in Boulder with those involved in the first SHIFT Festival.” ~Music Director Michael Butterman
