I certainly do, and I hope you (like me) are still feeling the magic of this year\u2019s Festival, where nearly 16,000 music lovers gathered together to bask in joyful and inspiring music!<\/p>\n<p>Today, you have the opportunity to provide this magic for our community. Your <a href=\"http:\/\/coloradomusicfestival.org\/donate\">donation<\/a> will help the Festival create positive impacts in our community, including:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Providing low- and no-cost tickets for youth, students, veterans, and seniors.<\/strong> For the first time since before the pandemic, concerts sold out \u2014 not once, not twice, but four times! As a reflection of our big-hearted Boulder home and because of your support, those and future concerts will be enjoyed by many deserving people who otherwise could not attend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating unforgettable opportunities to experience groundbreaking new music.<\/strong> In 2023 we commissioned three pieces which received their world premieres right here in Boulder. We were also honored to give the preview performance of <em>Elements<\/em>, written by some of today\u2019s most sought-after composers and performed by Joshua Bell. Your support will allow us to continue to create these unique opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevating Boulder as a hub of arts and culture.<\/strong> This season the esteemed <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/colorado-music-festival-review-rachmaninoff-in-the-rockies-f68cc15c\">praised<\/a> our orchestra. \u201cHearing this performance was like encountering an old friend with something new to say,\u201d reported <em>WSJ<\/em>\u2019s David Mermelstein. Such high-profile coverage benefits not only the Festival itself but our region as a whole, and would not be possible without your support.<\/p>\n<p>As a friend of the Colorado Music Festival, we hope you will consider a donation to ensure that our music remains both world-class and accessible, and that we continue to uplift and enhance the lives of our community of music lovers within Boulder and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Exciting 2024 season plans are already underway!
