Ever-Present Ghosts

Our artistic director, Josh Halpern, returns to present another concert blending music and storytelling into a seamless experience. In "Ever-Present Ghosts," he explores influence and homage through pieces based on pre-existing music, as well as pieces written in tribute to lovers, friends, and teachers. Framed by absolutely gorgeous 16th-century songs by Thomas Tallis and his student, William Byrd, we share stories of Janáček, Mahler, and Alfred Schnittke. Don't miss this profound concert experience weaving together over 450 years of music.

This week features community pop-up performances throughout Boulder County and a MainStage concert at Mountain View United Methodist Church. Find MainStage details below, and stay tuned for pop-up concert announcements!

Josh's residency is made possible by generous underwriting by Becky Roser & Ron Stewart.
