FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Grand Lake Creative District and Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre Partner to Bring Colorado Symphony to Grand Lake
Grand Lake, CO – The Grand Lake Creative District (GLCD) – a Colorado-certified hub for arts, culture, and heritage – is partnering with the renowned Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre (RMRT) to present a special, one-night-only performance by members of the acclaimed Colorado Symphony. The concert will take place on Saturday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre, offering a unique cultural experience in the heart of Grand Lake.
The performance marks a continuation of this successful partnership, which aims to expand Grand Lake’s cultural offerings while supporting the year-round economy. Previous events have featured prestigious groups such as Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and the Colorado Ballet.
"This collaboration is about more than just a single performance; it's about enriching our community and extending the cultural season into the fall," said Jennifer Mace, Communications Manager at RMRT. "By bringing in world-class artists, we not only attract visitors during the shoulder season but also provide new and different experiences for our local residents, who are often busy working during the summer."
The partnership’s success relies heavily on community support. “After our first performance, we noticed that many of the restaurants and hotels were busy again in October,” said Susan Struna, a GLCD board member who is instrumental in bringing the performers to Grand Lake. "The generosity of our community is incredible. Many local businesses donate lodging and meals for the performers, showing how much we all value these artistic events and their positive impact on the town's economy."
The Colorado Symphony performance is supported by Mountain Parks Electric Inc., Gateway Inn, Sagebrush BBQ & Grill and Rockies of Grand Lake. It features an extraordinary ensemble of musicians including Yumi Hwang-Williams (Concertmaster), Owen Lin (Violin), Phillip Stevens (Viola), Chloe Hong (Assistant Principal Cello), August Ramos (Bass), Nick Davies (Bass / Utility Clarinet), Patrick Hodge (Assistant Principal / Utility Horn), and Roger Soren (Contrabassoon / Utility Bassoon). The musicians will be performing two captivating works: Isang Yun’s Oktett (1978) and Schubert’s beloved Octet.
