2020-2021 Virtual Alumni Concert Series

Music Inspired by Nature

Join us for monthly virtual performances featuring Rocky Ridge Music Center alumni, hosted by our faculty members.

Due to the global pandemic, we weren’t able to celebrate Rocky Ridge’s long-lasting tradition of connecting musicians to nature and to each other at our beautiful and historic campus in the Rocky Mountains this year. To recommit ourselves to the healing power of nature and community, this season’s Alumni Series aims to provide a virtual space where we can safely gather together to hear music inspired by nature performed by our talented and successful alumni.

Any questions? Call 303-449-1106 or email RRMC@RockyRidge.org.

Ticket Price:

$10 per household each performance.

$50 for a Series Pass for your household (all performances included).
