Help Fort Collins Chamber Music Society Create Concerts for Kids

The  Fort Collins Chamber Music Society is raising money for their children's concert series, "Melody of Our History", based on stories that local students will recognize from their learning in elementary social studies.

Featuring dramatized performances of “A Life Between”, with music by Greeley Philharmonic conductor Glen Cortese, we will bring history to life this summer in our family-friendly concert series “Melody of Our History: FoCo Concerts for Kids.” Based on William Tremblay’s book The June Rise, “A Life Between” tells the story of Antoine Janis and his wife, First Elk Woman.
With text and direction by Actors’ Gym Collaborative Theatre Resident Playwright Briana Sprecher-Kinneer, this inspiring tale reminds us that families come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
Additionally, University of Wyoming student composer Nathan Otto Beutler will serve up his newly-commissioned piece about local legend, "Annie the Railroad Dog." The concert series will delight audiences also with dramatized performances of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and “Little Red Riding Hood” by Bruce Adolphe.

FCCMS is a non-profit organization of 
classically-trained professional musicians dedicated to performing chamber music in non-traditional settings. We make classical music 
accessible to new audiences, cut down production costs, and get musicians out of concert halls and into popular venues such as bars and breweries, restaurants and cafes, and schools and museums.
