Press Clippings from Newspapers
Kate Hatmaker wants to turn young people on to classical music.
Though she’s a violinist with the San Diego Symphony, she and a colleague created a “hip” chamber music series called Art of Elan, which highlights the energy of young players; moves classical music out of halls and into unexpected places, like art museums and renovated warehouses in San Diego; and mixes contemporary programming with more traditional pieces.
Jim Salestrom has been enjoying the time of his life lately, and tonight, he’s sharing his love of music through an intimate evening of song, food and wine.
Salestrom just ended an international tour as part of Dolly Parton’s band, which took him to a six-week rehearsal in Nashville last spring, followed by stints on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, a month-long tour throughout Europe, and Parton’s Better Day World Tour winding down in December in Australia, where Salestrom also opened for one of her concerts.
Breckenridge Music Festival Concert Master, Nathan Olson is highlighted in the headline article, “The New Concertmasters: Six under 30 talk about chemistry, career and collaboration.”
We’re so proud!
The Breckenridge Music Festival wants to learn more about our audience and so we ask for your feedback. The attached survey can take as little as 5 minutes to complete and covers both our classical and non classical music.
For your efforts, there will be two drawings- so two participants will win a “Dinner and a Concert”- a $100 dinner certificate at the restaurant of your choice and 2 tickets to the BMF concert of your choice. Provide contact information at the end of the survey if you want to be part of the drawing. The names will be drawn February 3, so don’t delay getting your survey in.
If you don’t have a response to a question, feel free to skip it.
We thank you very much for your time and input and hope to see you at our concerts this year!

Keith Miller has it all: a great voice, body and charisma. Last winter, he inspired local students with his words and impressed audiences with his baritone voice. Tonight he returns for an encore with Kara Guggenmos and Debbie Ayers at Father Dyer Church in Breckenridge, just a little more seasoned.
Miller, who grew up in Ovid, Colo., (population 300), was considered rough around the edges in the musical world; prior to 1994, he had never seen an opera, musical or ballet. He was a star fullback for the University of Colorado, played in two Fiesta Bowls, the Cotton Bowl, Aloha Bowl and Independence Bowl, carried the Olympic torch for the Atlanta Games and played pro ball for the European and Arena Football leagues.
But just as teams like the Broncos were looking at him, he chose to pursue a career as an opera singer.
