Join Ars Nova Singers for the climactic final program of its 38th season, as they proudly present Shared Visions—a remarkable interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists from across Colorado. This multi-year project began with a gallery featuring 24 captivating works by eight visual artists. Poets from across the state were then invited to engage with these works, using them as a wellspring of inspiration to create new poetry. The resulting anthology, a testament to the shared visions between visual and literary artists, served as fertile ground for commissioned choral compositions by four talented Colorado composers. Now, as our audience, your presence and engagement will complete this cycle of inspiration and forge the final connection between these diverse artistic disciplines. Immerse yourself in the transformative power of this extraordinary collaboration, where shared visions come to life, hearts are moved, and spirits soar.

Ars Nova Singers is excited to announce a developing educational program inspired by a beautiful project that embraces the connection between art and the environment. We’re launching with a Summer Camp for kids, to be held at the Center for Musical Arts in Lafayette, July 8-12.

Created in conjunction with the International Teaching Artist Collaborative (ITAC), and world-renowned opera singer and Grammy Award winner Joyce DiDonato, EDEN is a music and environmental awareness workshop for children in grades K-12; its hopeful and inspiring message is already blooming in Europe. This music workshop inspires empathy with nature by asking the essential question: What if trees could sing? The children respond to this prompt with words and melodies and create their own song, while also learning the EDEN anthem, Seeds of Hope, written by the pilot children’s choir that was created for this project. Joyce says,

“EDEN is a call to action to build a paradise for today: to fertilize, nourish, and protect the pure bliss that the deepest part of us knows and yearns for: the unpolluted perfume of a linden branch; the comforting shade of a towering tree; the breathtaking sanctity of pure love; the generosity of the endless light that breaks open for us every single morning; the dying to the world we have known, only to embrace and live aloud in our heaven, our love, and our song.”

As one of the nation’s most intrepid professional choirs, we’re proud to call the Colorado Front Range home.
