INSIGHTS

FROM THE LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

The Tunes on the Terrace series has been delighting audiences with a variety of local and touring musical acts since its inception in June of 2012. With a vision to provide a unique, intimate, outdoor venue located right in Lone Tree, the tradition continues in 2023 with an incredible roster of artists.

“I really wanted to elevate this series in 2023,” says Lone Tree Arts Center Executive Director Leigh Chandler. “We are incredibly lucky that amazing artists want to come to Lone Tree and perform, and this series offers our patrons the opportunity to see nationally renowned groups alongside local favorites.”

In 2023, three performances will be presented in the outdoor venue with a special performance by international favorite Pink Martini performing in the Main Stage Theater. The 2023 series is presented by RidgeGate and sponsored by Charles Schwab.

Lone Tree is a special place. The sense of community in a city this size is unmatched, and having a place like the Arts Center serve as a hub of community activity — in Lone Tree, but also in the south Metro area — is a privilege for all of us who work here. As Executive Director, one of my goals is to enhance this sense of community by finding ways for our visiting artists to spend time with the people who live here. Last month, company members from Gibney Dance worked with area domestic violence agencies to help their staff and survivors use movement, physical awareness, and creativity to help heal trauma. Earlier this month, Chicago Tap Theatre’s artistic director led a workshop for advanced tap students on our stage. And next month, San Jose Taiko will present a movement and drumming class for people with Parkinson’s disease, since movement and beat-based music have proven to slow the progression of the disease. You can read more about that on page 4.
