Dear Kaleidoscope Audience,

Here we are, halfway through the Kaleidoscope season and we’ve had some great concerts. We’ve also had some great audiences so thank you for coming and enjoying the music. If you have any comments or suggestions about how we can improve the audience experience I hope you will find me at one of the concerts or get in touch another way. We want you to have fun so if we can do a better job of it, we will.

I need say a huge thank you to the three State Farm agents who joined together to sponsor the spring concerts. You can see their ad on page 6 but if you have any insurance needs I hope you’ll call one of them and tell them you saw their ad in our program book. If one of them is your agent please tell them you appreciate them sponsoring concerts at the RMCMA.

If you’ve never been to our building please have a look around and pick up some materials on what we do here. There are approximately 500 people who come here each week for lessons, classes and ensembles truly making this a community music school. We’d love for you to join us in creating community around music. See page 13 for more information about making music at the RMCMA.

Thank you for spending your Saturday evening with us. Now sit back and enjoy the show, or get up dance, or grab another drink or a snack… have fun!

Sincerely,

Ethan HechtOperations [email protected] x102

BOULDER’S BOUTIQUE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

The Colorado Music Festival & Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts (CMF & RMCMA) is a one-of-a-kind organization that provides a spectrum of music education opportunities and world-class performances to citizens throughout Boulder County and beyond. On the education side, the RMCMA is a full member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education and provides quality, creative music-making opportunities to nearly 500 students each week. The RMCMA’s Heartstrings Program, which has received special recognition from The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, ensures access to music study by providing tuition assistance and a musical instrument bank to families in need. Another 7,000 people annually visit the school to attend guest artist concerts and student and faculty recitals.

In summer, music education and performances share the stage with the arrival of the Colorado Music Festival’s six-week concert season at Chautauqua. The CMF season showcases Maestro Michael Christie and the CMF Orchestra performing for audiences of over 22,000 each summer. Programming includes beloved classical favorites, world music, chamber music, genre-bending ensembles and new works by contemporary composers. Inspired programming performed by exceptional musicians has earned CMF recognition from the League of American Orchestras and the National Endowment for the Arts. In summer 2011, CMF presented its 35th concert season and the 11th season with Michael Christie as Music Director.

“Juno-winning Stone, the Yo-Yo Ma of the banjo, celebrates his new album Room of Wonders, an inquiring, sublime work inspired by folk dances the world over.” - Globe and Mail______________________________

Two-time Juno-winning banjoist Jayme Stone makes music inspired by folk traditions from around the world. His latest album, Room of Wonders, explores music from Norway, Sweden, Bulgaria, Brazil, Italy and North America. The repertoire includes a movement from Bach’s French Suite, a Moorish sword-fighting dance and Stone’s lush, edgy originals.

The last chapter in Stone’s musical travelogue took place in Africa. He went knowing what’s still news to most: that the hide-covered instrument with an “extra” drone string we call the banjo actually comes from West Africa. He became particularly curious about the music that may not have made it across the ocean on slave ships headed west from Senegal and Mali in the 1600’s. The resulting album, Africa to Appalachia, is a boundary-crossing musical collaboration with singer and kora maestro Mansa Sissoko.

Finnders and Youngberg is not a law firm. Oh, they might know some things about speeding tickets and noise ordinance violations, but they are a band. One could call them a bluegrass band, which they are. However, the band’s focus on original material, incorporation of the pedal steel guitar, and the entire quintet’s adventurous approach to all types of Americana music make this band truly an exciting development in acoustic roots music.

Anchored in the northern Front Range of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, this band plays music of its time and place, at a high level. Songwriter and guitarist Mike Finders {say Finn-ders} is a two-time winner of the Merlefest Songwriting Contest. Erin and Aaron Youngberg {yes, that’s right}, were founding members of Hit and Run Bluegrass Band, which won both Telluride and Rockygrass band contests in 2003, as well as subsequent SPGMA and IBMA honors. Fiddler Ryan Drickey is a former Rockygrass Fiddle Champ and a much-sought session player with the likes of Matt Flinner and Michelle Shocked. Rich Zimmerman is best known for his mandolin and vocal work as a founding member of the Colorado-based band Slipstream.

“Lionel Young Band is a big, fun, high energy band, with horns and organ – and the moves to match”-Elwood’s Blues Breaker______________________________

The Lionel Young Band, winners of numerous awards for best in and around the Colorado region, have won the 2011 International Blues Challenge

(IBC) band competition. Added to his victory at the 2008 IBC in the solo-duo catagory, that makes Lionel Young the first double champion in the history of the IBC.

Fans of the driven, classically trained Young, love his distinctive brand of blues on the electric violin. His show features not only Young originals but interpretations of blues classics by Willie Dixon, Leadbelly and Stevie Ray Vaughan, features the strength and passion of Young’s playing, as well as his smooth vocals and unique translations. The songs, which include his award-winning composition ” Brown Cloud Over Denver” and “Hey, O.J.,” a controversial little gem, alternately stir up social concerns and soothe the weary soul. It’s prime. It’s fun. It’s Lionel Young.
