Longtime Crested Butte resident Randi Stroh shares her enthusiasm for music as it relates to time, life cycles, and community in this solo piano recital. Featuring everything from Mozart’s most radical work in the wake of his mother’s death to Beethoven’s emotional journey through deafness and disability, Randi guides us through heartbreak, despair, joy, and human resilience with a selection of her favorite Classical works for piano.
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!
