Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) is the presenting sponsor of
tonight’s special Colorado Symphony performance at the Denver
Performing Arts Center, which will feature the orchestra playing
musical compositions created by elementary-school students from
Cole Arts & Sciences Academy, a Title 1 school in Denver’s Five
Points Neighborhood.
The performance is the culmination of the Colorado Symphony’s
Very Young Composers Program, where students learn to innovate by
composing music with the help of orchestra musicians.
“Colorado-based Arrow supports the Symphony’s Very Young
Composers Program to help expand the boundaries of innovation,”
said Joe Verrengia, Arrow’s global director of Corporate Social
Responsibility. “Innovation doesn’t just happen by magic—the
process of innovation can be taught. Rather than diving straight
into technology, we start by using music as a step towards
developing confident new innovators.”
“I am thrilled to be conducting the compositions of our Very
Young Composers program. These works are inventive and a testament
to Arrow's vision of innovation to transform ideas into influential
achievements," said Symphony Associate Conductor Christopher
Dragon.
Colorado Symphony CEO Jerry Kern added, “The Colorado Symphony
is committed to excellence, access and inclusion in all areas of
our programming and partnerships, especially to historically
underserved people, in neighborhood schools and in community
venues. The collaboration between Arrow and the Colorado Symphony
has allowed these Very Young Composers an unforgettable and
invaluable experience that has proved to them their unique ideas
are worthy and respected.”
In addition to supporting the Young Composers Program, Arrow is
a presenting sponsor for the 2016 Colorado Symphony season. In
2015, Arrow Electronics collaborated with the Colorado Symphony on
an original music composition. The Arrow “Five Years Out” overture
reflects Arrow’s commitment to innovation and represents the
Colorado Symphony's expansion into creating original music.
