Our Donors
Each year, during the festival, Summer Music Festival Donors and the Fellows they support come together to meet each other and enjoy dinner. All are treated to a chamber concert perfromed by some of the Fellows. Donors also enjoy other exclusive events, discounts, and other perks throughout the year and each June.
2026 CHAMPAGNE RECEPTION
The following very special friends contributed to the 2026 Summer Music Festival. Thanks to the generosity of these individuals, many deserving and talented young musicians are able to participate in this extraordinary program. To continue the Summer Music Festival and to maintain the highest standards of artistic excellence, the support of new friends is a continuing and vitally important goal.
If you are interested in helping to support the Summer Music Festival, going into its 43nd Season, through annual giving or our endowment campaign, or if you would like to have your name placed on the Summer Music Festival mailing list, contact Ann Van Horn, assistant director, at (719) 389-6552 or by emailing festival@coloradocollege.edu.
