David Arkenstone (5X Grammy® Nominated) at The Muse in Lafayette on 12/4
2023-12-04 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | The Muse Performance Space, 200 E. South Boulder Road, Lafayette, 80026
Join David Arkenstone as he returns to Colorado with his captivating holiday concert as part of the 3-state “A Winter’s Eve with David Arkenstone & Friends” tour. David and his band of virtuoso musicians bring a lively candlelit concert of beloved holiday classics reimagined, blending neo-classical crossover, new age, Celtic, orchestral, and world music to The Muse in Lafayette.
“A Winter’s Eve” tour will debut songs from David’s No. 1 Amazon Hot New Release Winterlüde, a winter-themed album inspired in part by David’s travels through the majestic snow-covered mountain towns of Colorado. “With this recording,” says David, “I set out to capture the feelings I get when winter comes around. It’s an idealized winter to be sure, but I wanted to illustrate some of the moods that come over me during this unique time. It seems to me the earth is more quiet and there’s more time for reflection and contemplation. These songs are like chapters in a book, with each sound painting embodying a characteristic or mood that is meaningful during this magical season.”
Since the release of his acclaimed album Valley in the Clouds in 1987, David Arkenstone has become one of the most engaging and prolific instrumentalists of our time, receiving Grammy® nominations in 2022, 2020, 2004, 2000, and 1992. With over 1.1 billion streams worldwide, 60+ albums, film and TV scores, gaming scores for World of Warcraft, and NBC Sports themes such as The Kentucky Derby and Premier League soccer, David’s music is the soundtrack to many listeners’ lives, taking fans of all ages on a fantastic musical journey. davidarkenstone.com

Bringing Morricone’s complex scores to life with a small chamber ensemble is a challenge Devine embraces, having transcribed and arranged many of the pieces himself. This epic music is performed by a group of musicians who perceptive music fans may recognize from their work with acclaimed bands such as The Czars, Kneebody & DeVotchKa, among others.

🎹 (12:30pm-2:00pm) Jazz Class Demo
Come observe how Adults who haven’t played much Jazz in their lives, have come to learn about the elements of Jazz and even Improvisation. We’ve had enormous fun in this class!

They’ll play through Melodies, Chords, Bass lines and then Improvise over that. We’ll demonstrate in ‘their words’ how learning one aspect of music, builds into the next and into the next. They’ve learned to not only understand Chords/Melody, but the basis of Rhythm and Bass lines. Possibly more important, is they’ve learned how to use their ‘ears’ in new ways which enables them to Improvise and Get Off the Page. Many of these folks, had never played anything by ear in their lives. They can now play in different keys, in different styles and rhythms all by ear. Come share in the fun and excitement of ADULT learning as we share our JOURNEY of music with you!

PREREQUISITE-Must have studied piano for 2 years or consult with Instructor.
CLASS SIZE LIMIT-6 Reserve your spot here

Have you ever wondered how music is created/composed? Have you noticed that all Video Games, Movies and Cartoons are accompanied by music? More than that, music enhances and makes things feel more real, more vivid. Music intensifies the emotion or action we’re watching. You may wonder how they do that. Are there hidden techniques that only video game or movie writers know? Maybe a few, but we will explore techniques that are the basis of all composition and will enrich our own musical palette. Whether you’ve composed or not, this is the class to get you going if you are interested in getting outside the box! We’ll work with Visual aids and having an I-pad or computer is good, but not required.

🎹 (2:30pm-3:45pm) The Piano, Inside Out!

Student Open Recital
2024-10-27 17:00 - 18:30 | Center for Musical Arts, 200 E Baseline Rd, Lafayette, CO, 80026, United States
This fall, the Center for Musical Arts Open Recital will take place on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 5pm in
Founders Hall. It is free and open to the public! Applications are due before Monday, October 21.
What is the Open Recital?
It is an optional opportunity for current CMA students to show what they are working on in their lessons! It’s different from the studio recitals held by many of our teachers because students from all over the school participate, performing many different styles on many different instruments, so you can really hear what inspires us! You can still participate in your teacher’s studio recital, as well.
Do I have to be really good?
You don’t have to be an advanced musician to participate. But, we want it to be a positive recital experience for you, so pick something you can play really well — even if it’s easy! Your teacher can help you pick your music and give the best performance possible. (Of course, we love our virtuoso students too!)
This recital does not have an audition requirement.
How do I sign up?
Fill in the Open Recital Application before Oct 21 and you’ll be on the program! Be sure to have your piece picked out before you sign up. If you need an accompanist, we can provide one, but you have to get your music in early. You can also bring someone in to perform with you — a relative, friend, or your teacher — as long as it’s music you are already working on at the CMA.
