After eleven successful years as founder and Music Director of the
Mercury Ensemble, Maestro Thomas A. Blomster saw the need to expand the
Mercury Ensemble into a full chamber orchestra and in the summer of 2007
the Colorado Chamber Orchestra was founded. Inspired by working with
Maestro James Ramsey and the Littleton Chorale, the CCO retains the
wonderful musicians from the Mercury Ensemble as the core group while
adding many more of the finest musicians available in Colorado. Members
of the CCO belong to or have performed with the Colorado Symphony,
Colorado Springs Philharmonic, Colorado Ballet Orchestra, Boulder
Philharmonic, Greeley Philharmonic, Ft. Collins Symphony Orchestra,
Cheyenne (WY) Symphony as well as the Mercury Ensemble. Many of the
members also teach at local universities and schools such as the
University of Colorado, University of Denver, Metropolitan State
College, University of Northern Colorado, and Colorado State University.
With the tremendous growth that Colorado has experienced recently many
opportunities exist for an eclectic, exciting, homegrown chamber orchestra to serve the state of Colorado. In its first season, the CCO will collaborate
with the Littleton Chorale on three programs, including their wonderful
High School Choral Festival. We will also sponsor a series of Side by
Side concerts, including performances with the Boulder Youth Symphony
and a variety of chamber concerts with amateur, student, and
professional musicians.
