DENVER
NEXUS PROJECT
Old, Meet New
Using local, highly trained musicians, Denver Nexus Project hosts concerts that showcase the similarities between baroque, classical, pop, rock and other alternative music styles. Our goal is to help Denver’s community find inspiration in new and unlikely ways by exploring how artists, composers and genres have influenced each other throughout the centuries.
Denver Nexus Project’s mission is to break musical stereotypes,
Embolden audiences, and
find new inspiration...
By modernizing, re-imagining, and merging classical and contemporary music.
Coming Soon
Broken Glass
King Center Recital Hall
What do Minimalist composers such as Phillip Glass have in common with electronic dance artists like Daft Punk, Justice, and Ratatat? Discover the visceral impact and emotional affect when music is returned to its purest form in this concert for string quintet, piano, and cajón.
Musical Musings
Radiohead Meets Ravel
Ravel meets Radiohead with the theme of inspired impressionism. Discover the evocative textures and timbres that defined both an early 20th century composer and a progressive rock artist.
Muse & Rachmaninoff
While Muse pulled influences from many of their superstar predecessors – Radiohead and Queen amongst others – most striking is Matt Bellamy’s proclivity for imitating Romantic composers like Sergei Rachmaninoff
On CPR Open Air
Local Denver band Morning Bear partnered with Denver Nexus Project for a dynamic Colorado Public Radio Open Air premiere. The indie folk band, led by John Runnels, is notable for soaring vocals & lush string lines.
