Scottish indie pop favorites Belle and Sebastian played Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Wednesday night with musicians from the Colorado Symphony. The orchestra, which is playing several shows at Red Rocks during its summer season, fleshed out the band's carefully crafted tunes.
Wednesday's show was one of the first in a promising summer concert lineup for Colorado music fans. Here's a few glimpses of the evening, with photos by audience members, Colorado Public Radio staff and even Belle and Sebastian themselves.
