At Strings, we believe that the arts can enhance the life of every person, at every age to make the world a better place.
- Strings provides music and arts access and opportunities to students in the Yampa Valley.

- Kids who appreciate music have a broader world view and are more well-rounded overall.
- Well-rounded students become well-rounded adults.
- Well-rounded adults are thoughtful contributors to society and make the world a better place.
k-5 Field Trips
Elementary school students experience a live performance in a professional hall, an experience that isn’t available anywhere else in the Yampa Valley. For some, this is their first concert or theatre performance.
Students attend field trips at the Strings Pavilion to watch professional performances. Ahead of their visit, each student receives a study guide that aligns with Common Core and state standards, assists teachers in incorporating field trips into curriculum, and aides students in thinking critically about their experience.
Past performances include Sonia de los Santos, Mexico Beyond Mariachi, the Okee Dokee Brothers, Justin Roberts, Doktor Kaboom, Jarabe Mexicano, and Mad River Theater Works
