'Applause!'
Presented by Colorado Springs Children's Chorale at Cornerstone Church Colorado Springs, CO
What if you could experience a concert from the inside out? An informance pulls back the curtain on the music itself, weaving live performance with real-time storytelling about the composers, themes, and moments that make each piece come alive. Performers pause to share, demonstrate, and invite you in before the full performance unfolds. The result is something more than a concert. It's a conversation between the music and the audience that changes how you hear, feel, and remember it. Join us for this FREE concert featuring Fountain Creek Neighborhood Honor Choir and CSCC Prelude!
