YOU are the heart of Boulder County’s music community
Right now, more people than ever are searching for connection—and through music, you make that possible. Without your support, tuition assistance and free concert tickets shrink, and too many neighbors lose access to the joy and sense of belonging that music creates.
But because of you, children step onstage with confidence, families gather in harmony, and audiences experience the thrill of live performance. When you give, you are not just funding concerts—you are shaping a stronger, more connected community, one note at a time.
We need to raise $400,000 between November 1 and December 31 to keep the music playing for everyone. Will you make your gift today and ensure our community continues to thrive together in harmony?
Together, we are building a stronger community, one note at a time

From Shy Notes to a Confident Voice
As a teacher at the Center for Musical Arts, Becca sees music transform kids every day. One student sat silently for weeks, then suddenly sang every word and danced with joy. Another, shy and quiet, found the courage to perform his favorite piece after just a few months. Music is the vehicle, but what’s really being built is confidence, resilience, and connection. And it’s only possible because of your support.
Family, Connection, and the Joy of Music
For Stella and her family, the Colorado Music Festival became a tradition that helped them stay connected. What began with attending the Family Concert when her children were young has grown into a shared summer ritual—even now that they’re older. As an usher, Stella says the experience “feeds her soul” and brings people together in a way screens never can. For her, the Festival is where families feel united and part of something bigger.
Finding Confidence, Connection, and Community Through Music
Aaron’s* family moved to Lafayette hoping to find a sense of community. They discovered the Center for Musical Arts, where Aaron began piano lessons and soon added violin and choir. Once shy about performing, he grew more confident with his teachers’ support and learned the joy that comes from practicing and trying again. The experience has strengthened their whole family, reconnecting them after the isolation of the pandemic and even inspiring his sister to return to music. “We felt like members of a community again,” his mother shares.
