Arts in the Park to Bring Arts and Cultural Performances to Bandshell This Summer

Arts in the Park performances will take place at the Glen Huntington Bandshell in the city’s Civic Area and showcase talent from the Boulder Ballet, Boulder Symphony and Boulder Opera.

This year’s Arts in the Park performing arts series will include four performances by three Boulder-based arts organizations:

• Boulder Ballet – Friday, June 2 and Saturday, June 3
• Boulder Symphony – Tuesday, July 4
• Boulder Opera – Saturday, July 29

Boulder Ballet’s mixed repertoire program will feature a collection of short works that showcase the expansive range of ballet. The Boulder Symphony will perform symphonic classics, from Copland to William Tell, Star Wars music by John Williams, Gregory T.S. Walker’s music for Rapper and Orchestra, and the 1812 Overture. Boulder Opera’s family-friendly concert will feature some of the city’s most talented rising artists, performing classic arias and scenes from Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Gotterdammerung.

Colorado-based artist Jerod Barker is also back for the third year to design the artwork for this year’s Arts in the Park poster.

“Arts in the Park is a great opportunity for the city to support several of our performing arts organizations and provide spaces for our community to celebrate and connect,” said Community Access Coordinator Rosa Wright. “Our community members love these performances and experiencing them live at the Bandshell makes for great memories!”

For all events, food trucks will be on-site. Beer and wine will be available for purchase at events with proceeds benefiting the PLAY Boulder Foundation. The city is partnering with PLAY Boulder Foundation, the Downtown Boulder Partnership and Avery Brewing Company to facilitate alcohol sales to the community.
