MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME
Feat. Poranguí, Snow Raven, Youssoupha Sidibe & Alixa García
Venue: Boulder Theater
Join us for an immersive evening as we explore culture as an opportunity for connection to community, music, and the world. This showcase is a celebration and a call to action - a remembrance of the importance of cultural preservation in these unique times.
This one-of-a-kind musical experience will feature four world-class musicians from diverse cultures, curated space design, a fundraising live auction, and more to be announced. The showcase supports “Raise the Roof,” a community project to transform the home of Native Diné Elders, Chief Danny John Sr., and First Lady Laurene John. You can learn more about their project here.
