Founded in 1984, the Colorado College Summer Music Festival is a long-time Colorado Springs tradition. Because the school has been around before Colorado even became a state, the music history is long and storied, making this festival one of the best of its kind.
The 39th annual Colorado College Summer Music Festival will be held from Sunday thru Friday, June 4th to 23rd, 2023, with multiple concerts held at various performance halls and art centers on the Colorado College campus. Tickets are typically available to purchase on May 1 for the general public.
It’s a great place to spot up-and-coming classically trained musicians from around the globe who spend three weeks in intensive preparation for spectacular performances. A family-friendly event, the Colorado College Summer Music Festival is a time to enjoy classical orchestral and chamber music performed by Colorado College students and faculty.
