NORWEGIAN WOOD with COmpass REsonance
What unfolds when a pristine Scandinavian landscape inspires music, brought to life by
one of the most innovative and exhilarating string ensembles?
COmpass REsonance, known as “Boulder’s CORE,” presents an unforgettable performance reflecting themes of climate, environment, and human psychology, exploring orchestral and chamber music inspired by Nordic Romanticism. Audiences will experience evocative works by the poetic Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, interwoven with a bouquet of varied gems ranging from folk-inspired to J.S. Bach and including a totally new version of The Beatles’ much adored Norwegian Wood.
COmpass REsonance (CORE) is a conductorless ensemble uniting acclaimed musicians from across the U.S. alongside Colorado’s finest talents. CORE’s artists, comprising concertmasters, principal orchestral players, and distinguished quartet performers from Asia, Europe, and North America, gather in Boulder to present innovative musical experiences that transcend time and culture.
“COmpass REsonance… has unveiled a bold 2025–26 season as it completes its evolution from the 44-year-old Boulder Bach Festival. The announcement marks the first full season under its new name and mission, following a legal rebrand in January 2025. The transition reflects a decade of artistic expansion led by pianist Mina Gajić and violinist-conductor Zachary Carrettín, who took the festival’s helm in 2014. Under their direction, programming has grown to encompass five centuries of music, improvisation and cross-disciplinary collaborations. The group’s mission is “to enrich lives with performances of music from across time and cultures and to create distinct learning opportunities for musicians and audiences.”
CORE’s season launch follows a landmark $2 million gift… which will support performances, tours, recordings, educational initiatives and the ensemble’s annual BachFest Week dedicated to Baroque repertoire.” -Daily Camera

A single mom’s life is turned upside down by her child’s chronic illness. Abandoned by her husband, she faces reality with a sunny determination that borders on denial.
A story of a mother’s unbounded love and the makeshift circle of women who support her, Mary Jane is a beautiful testament to endurance and human kindness in the face of tragedy.
The New York Times calls Mary Jane “the most profound and harrowing of all Amy Herzog plays…a character study and everywoman story.”
