Guster & The Colorado Symphony – March 8th – Boettcher Hall

Estimated read time 5 min read

This past Thursday, Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall played host to an exciting collaboration between the regal Colorado Symphony and whimsical Boston Pop-Rock group Guster. While there was a bit of sonic disconnect between the band and the symphony early on in the evening, songs like “Two Points for Honesty,” “Either Way,” and a completely acoustic “Jesus On The Radio” were very well received. We applaud The Colorado Symphony for bringing in contemporary acts and exposing new audiences to the amazing work they do.
