This Sunday’s Denver Post highlighted the great concerts/sounds around town for the 2010 summer concert season. Most of the concerts scheduled at York Street and at Chatfield are highlighted. Ricardo Baca, Denver Post Music Critic, highlights the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield shows — The Elect the Dead Symphony with Serj Tankian and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, and Garrison Keillor’s Summer of Love Tour — as two of his top picks for the summer.
There is no better place in Denver to see music than at Denver Botanic Gardens York Street facility and at our newest venue at Chatfield. There are still tickets available for most shows and can be purchased on the Gardens’ website. Tickets are now available to the general public for purchase. Come spend an evening with us in either grass-covered amphitheater and listen to some of the most highly anticipated concert artists of the summer.

On the southern edge of the Denver metro area lies a broad expanse of beautiful landscape called the Chatfield Basin. Here, the Rocky Mountains meet the High Plains, and southern deserts meet northern boreal forests. In addition to its aesthetic beauty, the Basin provides valuable habitat for a wealth of species.

Henry Moore Sculpture Exhibit at Denver Botanic Gardens
Henry Moore is here. As a marketer and pr professional at the Gardens, my first thought was “Who Is Henry Moore?” when I first understood the exhibit would be arriving in 2010. I knew the name. I majored in art in college but have drifted away from some of my art history roots over the years.

Ambassador Jan here! Can I just tell you that the Chris Isaak concert last Sunday at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield was a LUMINOUS event?!!
I arrived before the gates opened so I could prepare to help you find the BEST spot in the coolest, greenest grass-carpeted venue around. This event marked the first summer concert at Chatfield since the amphitheater has been renovated and it was, dreamily, like stepping into a classic movie. The Wizard of Oz comes to mind….
