You can create transformative musical experiences.
We believe the arts are for everyone – no matter who they are or where they come from. We believe we must redefine and reimagine the experience of the performing arts organizations. For many, the traditional experience of orchestral and similar types of music can feel unapproachable or uninviting because of perceived rules about who is welcome, what to wear and how to act. We are flipping the script by intentionally creating a welcoming, friendly and engaging experience for which all are welcome to enjoy and participate in whatever capacity feels most comfortable for them. The history of performing arts organizations do not have to dictate their future.
Augustana Arts presents a Concert Series in public venues around Denver and brings instrument lessons and music therapy directly to children and adults through Music Encounters, getting them hands-on with intentional, well-crafted group lessons.
We believe the all members of our community should have access to high-quality, diverse musical experiences.
How do we achieve this?
Our Music Encounters program brings instrument lessons and music therapy sessions directly to kids and adults in Title I schools and under-resourced neighborhoods, with no financial requirements. More than 75% of our participants pay nothing at all.
Our Pay What You Can ticketing model allows audiences to attend concerts no matter their ability to afford a ticket price. Over 70% of our regular concert series attendees last season paid a reduced price or nothing at all to join us at a performance.
Our performances feature a range of composers - living composers, women composers and BIPOC composers - as well as a range of musical genres.
You can help to create the future of music experiences. Will you join us?
