Twinkling lights, seasonal greenery and of course beautiful music at CU Boulder’s Holiday Festival, an annual tradition that’s enchanting for all ages—make plans to attend!

One of two CU students on The Washington Post’s “composers and performers to watch” list, Kedrick Armstrong will conduct the CU Symphony Orchestra’s performance of “Sinfonietta” on campus—this before the world premiere of “The Factotum” with the Lyric Opera of Chicago in February.

“Odeon,” Ephrat Asherie Dance’s original work bound for Macky Auditorium Nov. 18, combines storied Afro-Brazilian rhythms and sounds with contemporary hip-hop, house, vogue and other choreography styles that are part of the current lexicon of street and club dancers in New York.

Featuring music, instrumentals and dancing, as well as food from different cultures, this College of Music event is a one-of-a-kind showcase designed to spotlight a diverse approach to creativity.

Performing works for string quartet written by underrepresented composers of color, the Ivalas Quartet strives to bring together diverse audiences in musical celebration. Performances run Nov. 6–14.
