Augustana Arts Inc

Augustana Arts supports musical performance opportunities through its Concert Series program. The Concert Series includes Stratus Chamber Orchestra, which engaged more than 40 community musicians who share a vision of performing the finest musical experiences in innovative settings. Stratus presented three live concerts on its own for a total audience of approximately 450 people during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. In addition, Stratus collaborated with Neyla Pekarek, formerly of the Lumineers, to present two performances of A Western Woman in June 2025. More than 500 people enjoyed these performances, one in Greeley, CO and one in Denver, CO. Augustana Arts also presents concerts by local and national musicians at a variety of venues throughout the Denver metro area. There were four such concerts in 2025 drawing a total audience of 417 people. Additionally, three outreach performances brought music to 215 adults and children. Most performances use a Pay What You Can ticketing model that allows those wishing to attend to pay whatever they can afford, removing money as a barrier to music participation.
