New update
2025-2026 is Jefferson Symphony's 73rd Season of presenting live, symphonic music in Golden!
Reasons to attend a classical music concert:
- You Don’t Need to Know Anything to enjoy it.
No music knowledge required! Just sit back, listen, and let the sounds move you.
- It’s a Sensory Experience
The sight of musicians playing in perfect coordination is just as thrilling as the sound.
- Time to Unplug and Just Be
No phones, no distractions—just minutes of pure focus on the music. It’s like mindfulness
without trying.
- You Might Recognize More Than You Think
Classical music is everywhere—in movies, TV, video games, and commercials.
- It’s Special, but Not Intimidating
Wear jeans or dress up —JSO concert culture is more relaxed.
- You’ll Leave with a New Story to Tell
Whether it’s a favorite moment, a familiar tune or just the wonder of trying something new, a classical concert is something to remember.
JSO relies on SCFD funding and contributions from foundations and individuals to cover the costs of our programming. 85% of the budget goes to programming expenses such as artist fees, conductor salaries, venue, music and equipment rental.
Most all the musicians are volunteers, they donate their time and effort to present live classical music to audiences in Jefferson County.
Ticket sales cover only 25% of concert expenses, which is why JSO relies on the generosity of donors like you.
