About Art Song Colorado:

Founded in 2015 as “Denver Art Song Project”, Art Song Colorado introduces new audiences to the joy of classical song. Eapen Leubner founded the group and created “A Single Step… Songs of Beethoven and Donaudy” with Mallory Bernstein and Michael Bevers.  The album led to early performances in Denver, the group expanded to perform across the Front Range.  Through performance and experimentation, the group polished their concept of innovative performances by Colorado artists include visual art, super-titles and storytelling.

Performances center on a theme and take a brand-new audience member from learning what an art song is to experience the breadth and depth of this living genre. Themed concerts include “Fantastic Art Songs and Where to Find Them” and “Outsiders- Song Cycles from the Fringe.” In 2018, Stephanie Ann Ball was their first guest curator and her production of “The Pillars of African-American Art Song” premiered at the Blair-Caldwell African-American Research Library in Five Points.  The group brought in their first national star when Robert Osborne (Tanglewood Festival, Symphony Space NYC) recreated his internationally performed pastiche, “Don Quixote in Music” in Denver for the first time. This production was a collaboration with the Denver Early Music Consort and the Vassar College Opera Theatre.  In 2019, the group debuted in Grand Junction and took on their new name. Art Song Colorado has now expanded to the national stage by presenting at the Videmus Conference at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
