A letter from the our founder

Dear Supporters,

On behalf of Evergreen Music and Performing Arts, I would like to share our vision for bringing world-class music to our mountain community and to invite you to help us build something truly extraordinary in the Foothills - brick by brick.

Our Vision for Evergreen

We founded Evergreen Music and Performing Arts in January 2025 because we believe music has the power to heal, connect, and transform lives, and that every family in our community deserves access to meaningful musical experiences. Our vision extends beyond individual programs. We are working to create a cultural hub where world-class performances meet the intimacy and acoustic excellence that make live performance unforgettable.

One essential element is still missing in our mountain community: a purpose-designed performance space with the acoustics to fully realize the emotional power of live music. You cannot experience the breathtaking resonance of a cello, the delicate interplay within a string quartet, or the profound stillness between notes without a space built to carry sound with clarity and depth. Without proper acoustics, the resonance, nuance, and emotional richness that make live performance meaningful are lost. Our community deserves a space where music can be fully experienced, not just heard, and we are working to build it.

Building Brick by Brick

As we work toward this vision, our first step is introducing transformative music programs to our community. By bringing diverse musical experiences directly to families throughout Jefferson County, we're building an engaged community of music lovers and establishing a strong foundation of support for what comes next. We need your support to continue this work in two important ways.

Continuing our community engagement programs.

These programs connect music with the people who need it most - reaching children, families, and neighbors throughout our community and giving them meaningful, lasting access to the arts.

Bringing world-class musicians to Evergreen.

We're beginning an exciting new chapter: inviting internationally recognized artists to perform right here in Evergreen, creating unforgettable experiences and putting our community on the map as a destination for extraordinary music.

A Founding Opportunity

Because we're building this from the ground up, our earliest supporters have a unique opportunity: to become Founding Members and help shape this initiative from its very first brick. Naming opportunities are available for those who wish to leave a lasting mark - your name permanently connected to a program, a performance, or the foundation of this endeavor itself. As a Founding Member, you won't just be a donor; you'll be part of the story we tell for years to come.

For those able to make a larger, transformational gift, we invite you to consider a named naming opportunity - such as underwriting a concert series, a performance space, or a signature program in your name or that of a loved one. These are rare, founding-level commitments, and only a limited number will be available.

To realize this vision, we are seeking partners who believe in the role of the arts in building strong, connected, thriving communities - people who understand the power of shared cultural experiences and who want to help shape the artistic identity of our region. Together, we can establish Evergreen as a true music destination: a place where families gather, where young people are inspired, and where the Foothills become known for acoustic excellence and cultural vitality.
