In The News

Our season opener is happening September 11th through the 13th, and so we are welcoming everyone into the hall to really come and experience what a, a lovely thing we have to offer.

There is something for everyone depending whether you have a classical background, or a favorite piece of repertoire, into modern pops, and so we are really encouraging everyone again, starting September 11th, come see what we have to offer.

So our department is the learning department, and we are very focused on making sure we’re out in the community as much as possible. We have our youth concerts that we bring all of our students and educators and parents into the programs but then we also have workshops where we go out into the community.

Our upcoming workshop is going to be partnering with Colorado Ballet, and it’s called Music in Motion. It’s geared towards our older adult population, more specifically ones that are experiencing various stages of memory loss, but we welcome anybody, of course. It’s a curated program where a teaching artist from Colorado Ballet will be presenting various movements and adaptable movements and paired with some popular music such as Elvis or musicals, something that sparks memories for the participants and allows them to express those feelings and memories in a fun and different way.

So all of our programs are built each year to be a little bit different in the learning department. Our youth concerts are the ones that kind of captures all ages. We like to have it for 3rd through 12th grade, but anybody is welcome.

This one is all about Emotional Modulations. We’re all connected through emotions, we all have changing emotions every single day, every single hour of the day, and so it’s a way to welcome members of our community in and allow them to recognize and feel the permission to recognize those emotions as they are listening to a concert and also validating that other people have other emotions as they’re listening to it.

 

I think music is universal. We have to be able to give programs to our community members so they feel welcome, and it’s it’s not about just what we want to do it’s about what the community needs and so these programs are what we have to offer to bring them into the concert hall and make them feel welcome.
