Join us for a unique European-inspired event at the Thompson Barn in River Valley Ranch. The Schubert MiniFest shines a light on the intimate connection between music and nature, while celebrating the rich diversity of artistic styles and cultural backgrounds in our place and time.
Indulge yourselves in two sets of chamber music with a 75-minute intermission to enjoy a picnic with an idyllic backdrop of Mt. Sopris on the RVR grounds (PYOP, pack your own picnic). Leave 2023 behind, we’re going back to 1800s Vienna!
Full Day and Half Set tickets available for both dates, see the schedule below.
Full Day (2:00-6:00pm) tickets are $55
Half Set tickets (2pm OR 4:30pm) are $35.

Schubert is a poet and a painter of music. He savors the beauty all around us. He takes time to describe them in painstaking details, and converses with them in the most sensual and charming way. He finds music in the petals of the rose, in the lilting trout in the river, and in his encounters of daily life. The Schubert MiniFest brings together 8 acclaimed musicians from the valley and around the nation, presenting Schubert’s beloved compositions in the form of solo piano, chamber music, lieders (songs), with a touch of narrative drama that brings us all the way to the ambience of the salon and garden of Schubert’s time.
