Colorado Sky
The College of Music’s Entrepreneurship Center for Music (ECM) awarded $10,486 in artist assistance grants this academic year, helping to support 14 students’ innovative projects, research, career building and professional development. Among them was Lírios Quartet cellist Chas Barnard, an artist diploma student, and alumna Sabina Balsamo who were artistically inspired by Proposition 114 which directed the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission to develop plans to reintroduce gray wolves west of the Continental Divide. The result is a new, family-friendly opera—“Colorado Sky”—that tells the story about the reintroduction of wolves through music and cinematic shadow puppetry.Learn moreabout the ECM’s recent grant recipients and upcoming performances of “Colorado Sky.”
