"Our 'Heroes' concert was an excellent example of what we mean when we say that we are not merely an orchestra in Boulder, but rather 'Boulder's orchestra.' [The concert] demonstrated not only our commitment to offering ways to enhance and deepen the impact of a musical experience, but also our determination to reflect our community's spirit of discovery and civic-mindedness…I always imagined that Copland's 'Fanfare for the Common Man' was meant to celebrate exactly this kind of social service, and to see it brought to life so vividly and sensitively was a special thrill…All in all, a great evening that connected on all fronts: the mind and the heart, the eyes and the ears. Bravo, James Westwater!" —Michael Butterman, Music Director and Conductor, Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra

Bravo Boulder!, an original piece of photochoreography, was commissioned by the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra to honor Boulder's social service nonprofits. The final piece contained photographs featuring over 300 staff and volunteers from 11 organizations making a difference in the community as well as those being served. This unique community collaboration is featured in the November/ December 2010 issue of SYMPHONY magazine. Above is a sample of some of the photos submissions used in creating the piece.
