Grammy nominated and 2-time Downbeat Jazz Musician of the Year, Don Byron, will perform at the Crested Butte Music Festival’s Annual Gala on August 28th at the Crested Butte Center for the Arts.

Enter the Crested Butte Music Festival’s Secret Garden to celebrate 25 years of elevated music in our picturesque valley. Share cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres with friends before sitting down to a fabulous dinner of elegant cuisine prepared by Chef Jason of Speckled Goose Culinary.

Following dinner, we will retire to our very own Parisian Jazz bar for an inspiring evening with Grammy nominated clarinetist Don Byron. Twice, Downbeat Magazine named Don Byron the Jazz Musician of the Year. While relaxing in lounge comfort, you will enjoy a variety of delectable desserts.

This dazzling Music Festival Gala will be a night unlike any other. Set in the heart of Crested Butte at the Center for the Arts, this ticketed fundraising event promises to be a special time with friends, family and others, all with a passion for the finest music. We will also be hosting an Online Auction which will open a few days prior to the event. All funds raised will support the Festival’s dynamic programming and further our mission.
