Every summer, renowned musicians from around the continent gather beneath the Flatirons at Chautauqua Park in Boulder to partake in an unforgettable summertime tradition. Some arrive from Phoenix, carrying violins and cellos; others roll in from Detroit laden with heavy brass trumpets and shiny trombones. For the month of July to the end of August, they practice together on a nearly daily basis, perform on multiple nights a week and laugh together (and possibly do some post-show embouchure stretches).
