Devin Patrick Hughes on The Jeff and Bill Show

In an engaging conversation with Bill on The Jeff and Bill Show, Devin Patrick Hughes, conductor of Symphony of the Rockies, shared exciting insights about the orchestra’s upcoming 2025–26 season, his journey into music, and the core values driving the Symphony’s mission to connect with the community.

During the in-studio interview at KNUS Radio, Hughes discussed the diverse and dynamic programming that Symphony of the Rockies will present this season, as well as his personal story. He revealed the turning point in his life when he chose to leave a pre-med program in college to pursue a career as a conductor—a bold decision that led him to where he is today.

"Connecting with our community is at the heart of what Symphony of the Rockies is all about," Hughes shared. "It was an honor to talk about the music we’re bringing to Colorado and beyond, and how we strive to create meaningful experiences for our audience."

The conversation also touched on Hughes' favorite composers and how music continues to inspire audiences across Colorado, bridging cultural and generational gaps. His passion for making orchestral music accessible to everyone is central to his leadership, and the upcoming season promises to reflect that vision with performances that resonate deeply with local communities.
