Events for April 5 through 11
Once again this week warents many different entertainment events in Fort Collins. And with the unpredictable weather we have been having the last couple of weeks, it may just be a good idea to go sit down for a couple of hours out of the Colorado spring weather. What better way to do that than visit local Fort Collins places to see some local talent.
At the UCA this week the month continues with events showcasing many different areas of the university.
Monday April 6 is a Virtuoso Series featuring Robert Brewer, Tuba. This is at 7:30 p.m.
On Wednesday April 8 there is a Jazz Ensembles Concert at 7:30 p.m.
On Thursday another museum is opening, the Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising. There is a reception at 7 p.m. Museum hours: Monday – Wednesday and Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., Thursday, 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
“Window to the World features a representative sampling of artifacts from around the world, including Central Asian costuming, richly embroidered and embellished garments from China and Japan, late 19th century American quilts, apparel and textiles from India, 19th century fashionable dress, and much, much more,” says the CSU website.
On Friday April 10 there is a Virtuoso series concert featuring guest Borromeo String Quartet taking place at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday April 11 there is a MasterClass festival Borromero String Quartet at 10:30 a.m.
Also on Saturday there is the Avenir Museum Workshop and Open house from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
“A hands-on Care and Handling Workshop, providing information on the care, display and preservation of family artifacts, is offered in conjunction with the opening of our new facility. Workshop participants will be provided with specific information to help them better care for their personal heirlooms. Space is limited. The workshop is free but reservations are required. Call 970.491.1629 to reserve your space. An Open House of the new Avenir Museum Annex storage facility provides the public with a rare opportunity to see this behind the scenes controlled environment facility with state-of-the-art storage cabinets. No reservations are necessary; you do not have to participate in the workshop to attend the open house,” again according to the website.
The Undergraduate Exhibition opened in the Curfman Gallery on Saturday, so it is not open through May. I am going to work to get some pictures up so you guys know what to expect, but it is in the perfect place to stop by in between classes and check out. It is quiet and always interesting to visit.
So those are the events as of now. As always, comments are welcome, as well as questions or suggestions. Let me know if I’m missing any major events that you are interested in! I’m always open to suggestions and comments.
