Arrow Electronics Proudly Sponsors Colorado Symphony Very Young Composers’ Performance

CENTENNIAL, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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.
