KALEIDOSCOPE: THE COLORS OF US
aTHE welcome from DIRECTOR ARTISTIC Welcome to Kaleidoscope: The Colors of Us! A kaleidoscope brings together different colors, shapes, and angles to create something none of them could make alone. Turn it slightly, and the picture changes. Look again, and something new comes into view.
Thatfeelsa lot like the Mile High FreedomBands. For more than four decades, MHFB has brought LGBTQ+ musicians and allies together to make music, build community, and create spaces where every part of who we are belongs. We are not one story, one sound, or one color. This fall puts that full spectrum on full display.
From the sweeping sounds of Symphonic
Sensations and the warmth of Autumn Skies &
Pumpkin Pies, to the unexpected fun of OUT! at the Museum and the wickedly ridiculous tradition of Witch, Please!, each performance reveals another facet of who we are. We are joyful. Resilient. Hilarious. Beautiful. And
when all those individual colors come together, something extraordinary happens. Thank you for being part of our kaleidoscope.
