Boulder Suzuki Strings

Congratulations to all our students on their beautiful performances at our spring solo recitals on Friday and Saturday! It’s always a joy to see the musical growth of each student from one recital to the next.

Thank you to the students for the work they put in to prepare for these performances. Thank you to all the teachers who nurture the talent of these students and to all the parents who support their children during lessons and practice at home. You are all a crucial part of the Suzuki Triangle! We appreciate your support of our program!

Warmest congratulations to our students and faculty for their outstanding performances at yesterday’s annual spring concert!

This special event remains one of the highlights of the year, uniting all our student groups from our youngest pre-Twinklers to our most advanced ensembles for a truly memorable concert. Our audience enjoyed a variety of musical selections with beautiful performances from our book level groups, Orchestra, Fiddle, Advanced Violin, Advanced Viola, and Advanced Cello ensembles.

We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and growth throughout the year, and deeply grateful to our supportive parents for playing such an important role in our community. A heartfelt thank-you also goes to our committed faculty, staff and board members for everything they do to make events like this possible!

Congratulations to our 2026 BSS Seniors!

Friday’s Senior Celebration was a memorable and meaningful evening, filled with expressive solo performances, touching moments, and plenty of laughter. Highlights included the beloved tradition of the Bach Double Violin Concerto, beautifully led by our seniors.

The evening honored not only their musical accomplishments, but also their dedication and growth over the years. It was especially touching to hear their teachers share personal reflections and memories from their time together.

We wish each of our seniors all the best as they step into the next chapter of their journeys!

Many thanks to the junior class for hosting such a wonderful reception, bringing seniors, families, and friends together to celebrate in such a joyful and memorable way.

Some of our Boulder Suzuki Strings students and faculty had the honor of being special guests at the Takács Quartet concert this past Monday evening. In addition to experiencing the quartet’s incredible performance of an all-Beethoven program, we had the privilege of observing their pre-concert warm up, asking questions about their preparations and meeting them after the concert. Thank you, Takács Quartet for this unique educational opportunity and for your inspiring performance!

Boulder Suzuki Strings students spread holiday cheer to shoppers at FlatIron Crossing Mall with a variety of festive holiday music yesterday. Thank you to our students for sharing your beautiful music with the community! You sounded great!

The gift of music education lasts a lifetime!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Boulder Suzuki Strings has been able to provide financial assistance to dozens of dedicated students over the years—students who have continued their musical journeys because of contributions made through campaigns like Colorado Gives. This year alone, we are proud to award tuition scholarships to five students. Each of their stories is unique, but all share a lasting appreciation for the opportunities and community they found here.

Today, December 9, your gift goes even further.
Every donation made to Boulder Suzuki Strings through the Colorado Gives campaign will be boosted by a $1M+ Incentive Fund made possible by Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. Nonprofits receive a portion of this fund based on the percentage they raise during the event.

Even better: When you start a new monthly donation, Colorado Gives Foundation will match your first month’s gift—up to $100—until a statewide $250,000 matching pool is reached. It’s a wonderful way to maximize your impact and help sustain Boulder Suzuki Strings.

Your tax-deductible contribution supports our scholarship fund, ongoing teacher training, master classes, and visits from exceptional guest faculty—strengthening the program for all of our students.

We’re deeply grateful for your support!
