Here we are on Top of the World, one of the world's greatest venues to play in. Today's performance arts is New York Premier. Thank you for being with us. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your concert. Can't believe I'm here. We're in New York City with the Colorado Symphony. And it feels amazing. We succeeded in a way that we represented the state, represented the symphony, represented our organization. The main takeaway was that great halls can really boost the orchestra's ability to hear each other and to inspire each other with the sounds that we're creating. It's a historic moment for us, and it really feels like life before this moment and life after this moment. We were so well received to have a standing screaming ovation at Carnegie. We just completed a three-day run. Two nights at Radio City and one at Carnegie Hall. We're all overwhelmed with gratitude in New York City. A big feat and couldn't move them for better success. They all can make this beautiful music because they're paying attention to others. They're collaborating that extended beyond just the musicians to the executives, the logistics people, the um the staff, the the marketing folks to really support one another. And I couldn't be more proud of the orchestra. So it's a special moment for us to come into New York. It's a long trip. But it's a big moment and it's time for everybody to celebrate. What just happened is the wonderful performers of the Colorado Symphony. I cannot express how proud I am of the stage that they have earned and what they have showed to the audience here in New York. And the story that we told of Peter and Itzak, a story of mentorship and friendship and artistic excellence. I think you asked any member of the orchestra. This is today was just incredibly inspiring for all of us, and it just makes us want to work harder and harder and harder in greater and greater orchestra. As we are here today, we're doing it. We've changed the energy. We've got the energy the right way. We're building the romance. Being a family-owned business, employee-owned, was three years of struggle. The Love A Denver Go Bomb program brought money back into this city when I think everything was taken out of it. We relied on that. We can't just get it from nowhere. So I'm thankful that the voters did decide to do that so we could stay alive. The improvements are bringing the people back down here. We can't run a business or serve food to no one. So it's kind of just allowing us to have the space to still keep our tradition going. There's locals coming down, tourism's back, the convention centers booming, and people feel safe walking the streets again. Now people want to explore it. There's new shops, new places. Just feels alive again.
