Music for Everyone
We believe music has the power to connect, inspire, and transform lives. We also believe those experiences should be available to everyone. Accessibility isn’t a checklist or a one-time initiative. It’s an ongoing commitment to removing barriers, creating welcoming spaces, and ensuring all members of our community can fully participate in the concert experience.
Our Commitment
Accessibility is a core part of our commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and access. We recognize that meaningful access extends beyond simply entering a venue. It means creating opportunities for all people to experience music in ways that honor their individual needs, abilities, and perspectives.
We’re committed to listening, learning, and evolving as we work toward a more inclusive future for audiences, musicians, volunteers, and community partners alike.
Accessibility Features & Services
Braille Concert Programs
To help make performances more accessible to patrons with visual impairments, we offer complimentary braille concert programs at select performances. These programs provide greater access to concert information and enrich the audience experience.
Haptic Music Experiences
Music can be experienced in many ways. Through haptic vest technology, patrons who are Deaf or hard of hearing can physically feel the vibrations, textures, and energy of live orchestral performances. This innovative approach helps make the emotional impact of music accessible to a wider audience.
Service Dog Support
We proudly collaborate with organizations including Faithfully K9, Canine Partners of the Rockies, and Domino Service Dogs. These partnerships support service dog training and help ensure that patrons accompanied by service animals feel welcomed and accommodated at our performances.
Accessible Venues
We work with venues that are designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities.
Removing Barriers to the Arts
Accessibility includes more than physical accommodations. Through our community engagement initiatives, we strive to reduce barriers that can prevent individuals from participating in the arts, including financial and logistical challenges. We believe classical music belongs to everyone, and we are committed to creating pathways that make participation possible for all members of our community.
Accessibility Feedback & Requests
We recognize that accessibility needs vary from person to person. If you have questions about a performance, require accommodations, or would like to provide feedback on your experience, we encourage you to contact us before your visit. We’re dedicated to working with patrons to ensure a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone.
