Chaski Quartet will share vibrant string quartet music both old and new, for both classical music lovers and listeners hearing a string quartet live for the first time. We’re delighted to be back at the Gunnison Public Library as part of our summer Colorado tour: we have free concert for music lovers of all ages: please join us! Featuring Sarah Cranor, Alejandro Gomez Guillen on violins, Han DeWan on viola, and Amy Huzjak on cello.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
