10am: Music on the Green: Trevor G. Potter

Join us every Wednesday morning this summer for our weekly free concert series, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park. With concerts lasting just 45 minutes, it's the perfect way to enjoy a summer morning.

Performing this week is singer-songwriter and composer, Trevor G. Potter. With a style that reflects the American landscape, Trevor G. Potter's songs hold a certain plain-spoken truth that touch on common themes of people and places. He has produced 3 CD's of acclaimed original music "Curbside Vacancy", "Potter County and Points Far Beyond" and "A Cumulative Collection of Song and Session." A strong string of major national festival appearances, headlining and opening shows have helped to create his solid reputation as a live performer.

7pm: Twilight Yoga

Bring your yoga mat and bug spray to sunset classes in our beautiful Festival Park. Teachers from Harmony Yoga lead all-levels classes to the sounds of Strings' classical evening concert. Harmony classes focus on breath for grounding, movement for alignment of energy and extra long savasana for embodiment of our practice. Following the event, join your fellow yogis in a non-alcoholic drink reception as the sun sets on Mt. Werner. Come for the yoga, stay for community connection. Dress in layers for varying weather.

All ages welcome. $10 suggested donation benefits Strings.

7pm: Thalea String Quartet

Starts at $35

The Thalea String Quartet brings their signature vibrancy and emotional commitment to dynamic performances that reflect the past, present, and the future of the string quartet repertoire while celebrating diverse musical traditions from around the world. Fueled by the belief that chamber music is a powerful force for building community and human connection, the Thalea String Quartet has performed across North America, Europe, and China, and has appeared at the Kennedy Center, Massey Hall, and Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall. They have shared the stage with luminaries of the chamber music world, including members of the Emerson, Brentano, and St. Lawrence String Quartets, and they have performed alongside celebrated artists including Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, violist Lawrence Power, acclaimed Canadian band BADBADNOTGOOD, Detroit hip hop icon Mahogany Jones, and visionary R+B artist Charlotte Day Wilson.
