Other symphonies and orchestras in the region include the Colorado Springs Philharmonic and the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra.

The Colorado Springs Philharmonic, entering its fifth season, offers a wide-range of performances of the classical master composers by worldrenowned musicians including New York Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony piano prodigy Yuja Wang. A children’s Halloween program is complete with a costume contest.

The Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra puts on a handful of free Friday evening performances including a holiday performance honoring the traditions of the world including Christmas, the sounds of Hanukah and Hispanic traditions.
