Recognizing underrepresented composers on World Peace Day
Dancing in September! Join us for a sensational season premiere showcasing the rich tapestry of cultural diversity in music. The title “Reflect, Renew, Reimagine” is not just a nod to sustainability and progress, but also an invitation to celebrate a more inclusive and sustainable world.
This event is a special two concert celebration of music’s unique ability to foster harmony and understanding. First, on Friday, September 20th, we’ll host a paid indoor concert with the traditional concert atmosphere. Then, on Saturday, September 21st (World Peace Day), we invite you to join us at the Denver Performing Arts Complex Sculpture Park for a FREE outdoor concert!
At both events, we’ll honor composers who are often overlooked in traditional music history. It’s an opportunity to recognize and appreciate voices that have been marginalized, while also looking forward to a more inclusive future.
Stay tuned for more details about the outdoor event, including food trucks, activities, and music. Bring a blanket, gather your loved ones, and immerse yourself in the beauty of an outdoor concert under the stars!

Ensemble Charité: Schubert Reimagined II
2024-10-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Central Presbyterian Church, 1660 Sherman St, Denver, CO, United States
“Ensemble Charité is a not-for-profit organization with both charitable and musical ambitions. The concept is to perform concerts, most of which I will conduct, of different size ensembles depending on the repertoire, including full chamber orchestra, string quartets, or string chamber orchestras. There will be a mix of professional leadership, and pre-professionals gaining experience. The orchestra and overhead of the performances will be funded by donations. The concerts will take place in the cities of the chosen charity, and will optimize for using local musicians. 100% of the ticket proceeds will go to the charity. Eventually, we would like to have concerts all over the world, raising money for a variety of charitable organizations.”

Reflections with Steve Roach
2024-10-12 19:00 - 23:00 | Central Presbyterian Church, 1660 Sherman St, Denver, CO, United States
Welcome to 40 Years of Silence: a celebration of Steve Roach’s ambient masterpiece, Structures From Silence. Steve leads us on a 2-hour journey, mapping a sonic trajectory born from a life dedicated to the soundcurrent and the activation of the mythic Imagination. Originally released in 1984, Structures From Silence is a timeless work of emotional depth and atmosphere that resonates even deeper today. Join us for a transcendent evening as Steve opens portals of unyielding beauty within this historic Denver church.
More than just another tape filed in the New Age section of the local record shop, Structures From Silence was a breakthrough. A vision.
From the opening textures of “Reflections in Suspension” to the celestial cloud drift of the title track, the entire album is transportative. An Oberheim synth, a Lexicon reverb, recorded direct to tape, and BOOM – the gentlest, most heartfelt synthesis of European art music and razor’s edge American technology. Where Kubrick envisioned an infinite plane of geometric apparitions, Roach burnished the edges into a soft wave of infinite, amorphic possibilities. Close your eyes, and it’ll last forever.
