Testimonials

"The classical music concerts presented each year by Grand Concerts add to the fabric of quality-of-life offerings in our community, adding artistic excellence to a community known for outdoor recreation and natural beauty." Mayor, Town of Winter Park

"This hard working non-profit deserves to be supported for bringing high quality musical performances not only to our schools in a very up-close and personal way, but to our entire county. We are fortunate that Grand Concerts annual season of performances gives citizens, visitors and our youth a rich cultural experience that otherwise would not be available in this area." Mary Jane Thornton

"In our community at Granby more than half our students are low income...and cannot afford to go to the concerts outside of school....These events may be the only chance such children have to experience live concerts." Laura Veraldo, Granby Elementary

Mission

Grand Concerts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the cultural environment of Grand County, Colorado by providing to all residents and visitors accessible, educational, enjoyable classical music concerts of the highest quality on a regular basis.

Background Statement

Grand Concerts began in 1975 when a group of creative people in Grand County decided to start a community concert series designed to bring quality musical entertainment at affordable prices. Originally, the series presented music from all genres. In 2004, Grand Concerts narrowed its focus to classical music based on interest expressed by residents and to fill a need in the community. We are the only organization bringing professional classical musicians from around the country and across the globe to Grand County. Our average concert attendance has grown from 93 in 2004 to 190 in 2019, and our visiting musicians tell us they love performing in our beautiful mountain community. Educational outreach has always been an important part of our mission through our partnerships with local schools, and in 2019 we established a musical scholarship for eligible local high school seniors.
