Ballet Ariel is a professional company presenting stunning original ballets including a traditional annual Nutcracker. This Denver-based company

also includes a ballet school that offers children, 4 years of age and up,

In addition to the Nutcracker, Ballet Ariel’s 2016-17 season will feature an original ballet to Copland’s Appalachian Spring accompanied by Stratus Chamber Orchestra, Les Sylphides, Cinderella, a Cinderella Tea Party (!), La Fille Mal Gardee (The Misbehaving Daughter) and Rikki Tikki Tavi, based on the beloved children’s tale by Rudyard Kipling.

The Augustana 2016-2017 season is going to be spectacular!

This is a group that just keeps getting better. Stratus Chamber Orchestra has added another layer (strata) to its already highly innovative style, weaving a storyline through its four concert series that will keep audiences guessing to the end. Colorado Women’s Chorale celebrates the holidays adding a St. Patrick’s Day festivity and a Halloween themed concert that includes Keith A. Hamel’s chilling Salem, 1692.

Augustana Arts’ Concert Series features Chanticleer and Canadian Brass, two rockstar groups that are not to be missed.

And a new ensemble has been added to its already rockin’ repertoire. The Colorado Men’s Chorale, launched this spring, is under the artistic direction of Jennifer Ferguson, known for her remarkable work with the Colorado Women’s Chorale.
