Experience an afternoon of timeless traditions with Americana: Redefined, featuring the Boulder Philharmonic String Orchestra and guest artist Enion Pelta-Tiller. This dynamic concert journeys through American folk music, blending gospel, jazz, blues, bluegrass, country, and global folk traditions that form the rich tapestry of American music. As part of the Boulder Phil’s SHIFT series, Americana: Redefined brings orchestral music into vibrant new spaces across Colorado’s Front Range, moving beyond the concert hall to unite audiences in shared musical experiences. From the lively strains of bluegrass to the soulful echoes of gospel, SHIFT delivers a fresh perspective on music that transcends expectations. Highlights include Trinity for solo violin by jazz legend Ornette Coleman—a piece symbolizing unity across divides—and pieces like Cluck Old Hen and Red River Jig, celebrating American-born fiddle traditions. Contemporary works like Darol Anger’s Coal Burnin’ Greasefire add a modern edge, showcasing the evolution of these musical influences. Join us for a celebration of American music as a unified art form, continually evolving with each generation.
