  • Brett Mitchell to Take the Helm of the Colorado Symphony by Mike Telin
    Brett Mitchell to take the helm of the Colorado Symphony by Mike Telin The Colorado Symphony announced on ​ ​ September 12 that Brett Mitchell has been appointed music director designate for the 2016­2017 season, and will assume the post of music director in July, 2017. “It’s a great opportunity to be the Music Director of a great orchestra in a great city,” Mitchell said during a recent telephone conversation. “I don’t know how you could ask for more than that. I really don’t.” Mitchell, 37, has been a member of the conducting staff of The Cleveland Orchestra since 2013 and currently holds the title of associate conductor. He also serves as music director of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra, having led that ensemble on a tour to China in 2015, its second international tour. A native of Seattle, Mitchell served as assistant conductor of the Houston Symphony from 2007 to 2011, and previously was an assistant conductor to Kurt Masur at the Orchestre National de France from 2006­2009. He and his wife Angela eventually plan to make their home in Denver. The Colorado Symphony will give Mitchell a year to get to know his new colleagues in Denver — both the administration and musicians. “One of the extraordinary things about the appointment is the timeline that we have been able to develop,” Mitchell said. “Ordinarily the announcement would be made, then the next season you’d be named the music director designate, and become music director the following season — so that would add up to two years.
