Visitors to Summit County have plenty of choices of activities and events, and musical events are often one of the most popular options. Every year, guests come to the mountains to enjoy cooler summer temperatures and the many music festivals and concerts in Keystone and nearby towns and resorts. One of our recommendations for music lovers is to visit our nearby neighbors in Breckenridge and enjoy the Breckenridge Music Festival 2012. Performances will run between Friday, June 22nd, and Saturday, August 18th with a variety of performances. Visitors to Keystone Resort should make the short drive to enjoy one of these concerts and explore Summit County!
Performances will vary in musical style, and there is something for everyone. The Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra, in residence each summer, perform amazing orchestral concerts. You can enjoy chamber music in an intimate setting or catch the Blue River series for jazz, blues and bluegrass, roots rock, country and other styles.
