This summer, YMCA of the Rockies will host the inaugural Arts at Altitude Festival in partnership with an ensemble and vocalists from the renowned Cleveland Pops Orchestra.

The residency will be punctuated by two signature performances – a jazz evening on August 10 and a Broadway program on August 17.
Led by founding conductor and clarinetist, Carl Topilow, The Cleveland Pops Orchestra is a musical experience for all ages. Delivering unexpected performances of popular music from stage, film and television, the group offers toe-tapping fun for everyone.
