Networking with the Boulder Chamber Orchestra

The Tuesday Breakfast Club, part of The Broomfield Chamber of Commerce, hosted a business breakfast to support The Boulder Chamber Orchestra on Tuesday, May 12 at the Runway Grill. “One of the many ways the Chamber fosters business in Broomfield is through Leads Groups”, remarked Larry Rooney, membership coordinator, “which gives business leaders and entrepreneurs a way to gather and share ideas”. The Tuesday Breakfast Club is one such group, composed of five members—Peggy Pingel, Andrea Balazs, Sam Lansing, Keith Bobo, and Chip Bruss. “We wanted to do something to support a local non-profit arts group”, says Pingel, the group’s leader. “The arts add so much to the quality of life that we all enjoy, so we invited The Boulder Chamber Orchestra to come network with us.”

The Boulder Chamber Orchestra is a 26 piece orchestra established in 2004, and plays 6 concerts each year in the Boulder and Broomfield area. The conductor and music director, Bahman Saless, spoke to the business men and women at the breakfast meeting. “Of course, we appreciate the support, but it’s the networking that really counts”, said Bahman. “There’s nothing better than word of mouth promotion by peers and influential members of the community. We attribute our success and sold-out attendance to you.” Bahman Saless holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Colorado and worked briefly for NASA, before to pursuing his passion for classical music and the violin.
