Our Vision:
We are the symphony of choice in greater Jefferson County.
Our Mission:
To achieve our vision we enrich the greater Jefferson County community through quality musical experiences and educational programs.
Thanks for visiting the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra’s “virtual home!” We are a community music organization based in Golden, Colorado, offering several concerts each year by our various musical ensembles.
Beginning our second half-century the Jefferson Symphony Association is a committed group of ninety-five talented musicians and more than a hundred dedicated volunteers keeping the excitement of music alive.
The orchestra performs five classical concerts in the winter season, all held on Sunday afternoons, 3 PM, at the Green Center at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. Two–three free Pops Concerts are performed in Jefferson County parks during the summer months.
The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra sponsors an annual Young Artists Competition to recognize outstanding young talent in North America. The first-prize winner performs with the orchestra in the March concert.
A 15-member Board of Directors oversees symphony operations, providing assistance and support in management, publicity, and raising funds for an annual budget of over $275,000. Each concert requires approximately 1,500 hours of labor, most of which is provided by volunteers. The Jefferson Symphony Association is supported in part by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
