Welcome to the Littleton Symphony Orchestra!
Bringing world-class music and community engagement
to the heart of Littleton, Colorado
President's Message
On behalf of the musicians and board of directors of the Littleton Symphony Orchestra, I invite you to join us as our 2025–2026 season, Songs of Nature, continues to unfold. This year, we celebrate the powerful inspiration that nature brings to music, with performances that capture its beauty, energy, and spirit.
This fall, our season has already offered a rich variety of musical experiences for our community. We opened with Earth, a compelling exploration of nature’s grandeur, followed by our festive holiday concert, Joy, which brought audiences together in celebration of the season. We also welcomed families to Animals, a lively and engaging concert designed to inspire young listeners and spark curiosity through music. Together, these performances reflect our commitment to artistic excellence, community connection, and music for audiences of all ages.
As we move through the heart of our symphonic season, we look forward to sharing more unforgettable performances with you. Thank you for being part of our community—see you at the symphony!

The LSO Spotlight
Meet Christie Possehl, Founding member, past President, current board member, member of the Personnel committee and member of the violin section! We’re grateful for the many years of dedication and hard work she's given to the LSO as a musician and serving the orchestra on the Board!
Christie Possehl was brought up in a very musical home in Moorhead, Minnesota. Her father was a trumpet player, and her mother was a dedicated church organist and choir director. It was no surprise when Christie chose to play the violin in the fourth grade. Later, she continued her musical education at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and at North Dakota State University where she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Humanities and Social Sciences with an emphasis in Music Education. Christie obtained her first teaching position in the Alamo Heights school district in San Antonio, Texas in 1978 where she taught orchestra classes. In 1982 and after the birth of her first child, her husband’s job brought her to Littleton, Colorado.
In 1984 at age 29 and as a stay-at-home mom of now two young children, Christie was looking for a musical outlet where she could play her violin but found no local orchestras nearby. Hoping to form a new orchestra closer to home, she made the first (of what seemed to be several thousand) phone calls to other musicians. She found many who were interested and thus the Littleton Chamber Orchestra was born. Christie served as the personnel manager and violinist in the LSO for 10 years. She temporarily left the orchestra in 1994 and moved to Monument, Colorado to start a teaching job as Orchestra Director in Colorado Springs School District No. 11, while maintaining a private music studio in her Monument home. Since 2009, Christie is happy make the commute “over the hill” every Monday night to play once again with her beloved Littleton Symphony “family.” In 2014 she also became a member of the board and served as Board President from 2019 - 2023.
She remains a member of the board today. As a performing member of the orchestra, she often proudly shares a music stand with her fourth-grade violin teacher from Minnesota, LSO member, Judy Elgethun. Besides her children, Kelly and Aron, their spouses, and her three grandchildren, she is most proud of the success of the Littleton Symphony Orchestra.
