Join us for a FREE community concert on our custom-built mobile stage featuring the Zelter String Quartet!

Our mobile stage is designed to deliver free world-class classical music concerts throughout the region. Join us on Thursday, July 10th at 11:00 am at Cottonwood Park in Durango to hear a performance by the Zelter String Quartet. To get to Cottonwood Park, simply go to Animas Valley Elementary, then look for our volunteers to direct you!

The Zelter String Quartet: The Zelter String Quartet formed in Los Angeles in 2018. Gold Prize Winners of the 2021 Chesapeake International Chamber Music Competition and First Place Winners of the Piano/Strings Division of the 2023 Plowman Chamber Music Competition, the quartet is comprised of violinists Kyle Gilner and Gallia Kastner, violist Carson Rick, and cellist Allan Hon. They have participated in The Juilliard String Quartet Seminar and the Center for Advanced Quartet Studies at the Aspen Music Festival and School. They were the featured artists in the 2023 Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome at Mt. Wilson Observatory and were quartet in residence and mentors for the Civic Orchestra of Los Angeles for their inaugural concert in April 2024.

Driving Directions to Cottonwood Park:
The park doesn’t have an address itself and doesn’t show up in Google Maps. It is very close to Animas Valley Elementary School, which is located at 373 Hermosa Meadows Rd, Durango, CO 81301. Instead of turning into the school parking lot (on the left), turn right into the Cottonwood neighborhood. The park will be on the right about a quarter of a mile from the turn, and volunteers will be on-hand to help direct you!
