The Crested Butte Music Festival presents an annual festival of diverse music, opera and dance performed by outstanding artists, to inspire a greater appreciation of these art forms, and to help develop the performers of tomorrow.

At the Crested Butte Music Festival, our mission is to enrich, educate, and inspire our community with diverse art forms that celebrate the human spirit. Now in its 22nd year, CBMF presents outstanding performances in a variety of musical genres with accompanying hands-on educational programs. In 2017, over 130 world-class artists, including professional musicians, educators, and singers, as well as celebrated soloists, popular ensembles, and award-winning performers in jazz, bluegrass, and folk, traveled to Crested Butte from all over the nation to perform beloved masterpieces of old and premiere works anew in the Gunnison Valley.

This year marks the second year of two new initiatives for developing professionals and passionate amateur musicians. The Orchestral Fellows Program provides conservatory and music school students the unique opportunity to perform orchestral concerts and chamber music side-by-side with the professionals of the Festival Orchestra. The Chamber Music Intensive caters to serious amateur musicians who will be coached by world-class musicians.
