Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Colorado Gives Day event for Education Through Music Colorado!
Together, we raised 70% more than last year. This means more music in under-resourced schools and more opportunities for children to grow, express themselves, and thrive through music.
Tuesday evening was a beautiful celebration above the city lights, featuring live performances by Charlie Rose (Elephant Revival) and Taylor Shuck (The Fretliners). Our heartfelt thanks to the Halcyon Hotel for hosting us on its stunning rooftop.
This fundraising campaign continues through December 31, and we are so close to reaching the amount needed to bring music to an entire school for a full year—an investment that transforms the sound and spirit of a whole community.

In today’s world, there’s a powerful shift underway: our most valuable currency isn’t gold or stocks—it’s creativity.
Creativity reflects the combination of mind, body and spirit and shows up when we allow ourselves to explore, experiment and express. It’s something we have, not something we buy, which makes it deeply personal and profoundly liberating.

NEW BLOG:
We’ve all had those magical moments where time seems to disappear. Maybe you were painting, writing, playing music, or even running, and everything just clicked. Psychologists call this mental state “flow,” and it’s been described as the peak of creativity and focus. A new brain-imaging study is helping us understand what’s really going on in the mind when we hit that zone.
