TEENS, cont'd Music Creation and Creative Empowerment Ages 12+ | Riverwalk | FREE Mona (Monalicious) is a medicine woman of sound, a composer of groovy tunes and empowering mantras. As a songwriter they balance humility with majesty. As a native to Denver, they have grown with the city and have flourished in the arts community through music and leadership. In this class participants will explore music composition and creation and how to develop empowerment through creative expression. Remixing Media Ages 12+ | Fuqua Livery | FREE led by rapper and artist Mace Windu Devin Urioste also known as Mace Windu, is a local Denver MC, producer and visual artist. Mace, being in his early 20s, has been roaming the city spreading his creative talents amongst various DPS schools, the University of Denver, Anythink libraries, and most importantly Youth on Record. In this collage/visual art class, participants will learn how to use a new tool that is useful when it comes to building a further extension of yourself. When we create, whatever we create further expresses our identity and who we are as individuals. In particular, collaging is a simpler form of physical art when it comes to the process, but collage pushes you to identify pieces of yourself in everyday life. It is a way to identify what is aesthetically pleasing to you and what brings the most feeling to your body, mind and soul.
Workshops take place concurrently and participants may register for one workshop for all three days or all three workshops for one day. Registration is encouraged to reserve a space as capacities are limited. Please contact Drea Edwards at 970 547 3116 ext 1 or drea@breckcreate.org with questions. more info + registration | 970 547 3100 | breckmusic.org

They have released 31 albums, charted more than 20 singles on the country charts. Most recently, Asleep at the Wheel has been invigorated by a fresh new lineup and the release of New Routes, their latest album that is a bracing blend of original songs and vibrant cover material along with some unanticipated new musical tangents. Asleep At the Wheel have demonstrated convincingly, that they are more relevant, enjoyable and musically nimble than at any time in its 50-year history.

BRECK MUSIC PRESENTS, cont'd Indigo Girls Aug 18 | 7:30pm $65/$70/$75| Riverwalk Center On their 16th studio album, Indigo Girls tell their origin story. Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers reunited with their strongest backing band to date as they chronicle their personal upbringings with more specificity and focus than they have on any previous song-cycle. “We’re fallible creatures shaped by the physics of life,” says Saliers. “We’re shaped by our past; what makes us who we are? And why?”

AWAKENING Come Alive with Breck Music. In celebration of the 40th Breckenridge Music Festival, we are not imagining how we will return to business-as-usual after the pandemic; we are eager to embrace a new future, with new music, new projects and a new sense of dedication to our listeners. We are eager for a new awakening! Built around themes of optimism and new beginnings, we are creating new initiatives as well as spiffing up much-loved traditional aspects of past festivals. We’ll be more mobile, more flexible and more inventive than ever before. On our new AirStage—a high-tech retrofitted Airstream trailer with a built-in stage—we’ll present small ensemble versions of our innovative Tiny Porches and Family concerts. On the stage of the Riverwalk Center, we’ll offer our trademark combination of beloved classical music and new work. You’ll hear a stellar ensemble of 15 professional musicians from across the country perform lots of music that you already know and love from Brahms and Wagner to Debussy and Stravinsky. And you’ll make some new composer friends from Steve Reich to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. We’re not going back; we’re going forward! Join us for our 2021 season—An Awakening! Steven Schick Festival Artistic Director + Conductor

Like Tears Washed Away by Rain Eileen Roscina Jun 1–Jul 12 Eileen Roscina (b. 1987, USA) is an artist, experimental filmmaker and naturalist currently living in Denver, Colorado. She earned a BFA from Emerson College in Boston, Mass., is an MFA candidate at University of Colorado, Boulder, and trained at the School of Botanical Art and Illustration in Denver. Through biomimicry and the study of biophilia, her work examines human’s spiritual and social (dis)connection with nature, and seeks to raise questions about realizing a radically different metaphoric mapping of time, space and our place in the world. She has exhibited film internationally, and visual art at Denver Art Museum, Museo de Las Américas (Denver), Vicki Myhren Gallery at University of Denver (Denver), Dairy Art Center (Boulder) University of Colorado (Boulder), Salina Art Center (Kansas). She is represented by Walker Fine Art Gallery in Denver, CO.

VISITING AIRS Robert Whyte House Elizabeth Powell Colchester, VT Jul + Aug Printmaker Elizabeth Powell has an unusual background in both fine arts and economics. She has a keen interest in color theory, patterning and the morphology of shapes as psychological representations of femininity. Having extensively studied gender inequality in her economic studies, Powell explores the way the same sociological differences that lead to a systemic economic imbalance between men and women, present themselves in visual taste for form, pattern, and color. This interest exhibits itself mainly in her study of decorative arts, examining fashion, wallpaper, jewelry, and other forms of art that are typically associated with femininity. Meet + make with Elizabeth Saturdays in Jul + Aug @ Arts District Lawn
