This year on Colorado Gives Day (Tuesday, December 10, 2024), KUVO celebrates music education by presenting three student bands performing live and on the air throughout the day.

At noon, it’s the Century Middle School Jazz Ensemble from Thornton, directed by Jared Crump-Bertram.

At 3 p.m., you’ll hear the Colorado State University Jazz Ensemble, directed by Gabriel Santiago and Wil Swindler.

At 7 p.m., it’s the C C J A Jazz Arts Messengers, directed by Eric Gunnison.

We’re opening the Masterpiece Studio to the public for these special live performances, so just drop by 2101 Arapahoe in downtown Denver to encourage these young musicians.
