Free Music & Performances
Colorado Mahlerfest
🗓️Thursday, May 14th
📍Boulder, CO
➜Details
A lesser-known but really unique one—MahlerFest is an annual Boulder festival centered around composer Gustav Mahler, with a mix of music, film and performance.
Free events that day include a short film, a live chamber music performance, and an evening play—all tied to Mahler’s life and work.
A bit more niche, but a cool “something different” pick if you’re up for it.
