What a gorgeous afternoon at the El Paso Club!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the PPOL Spring Membership Luncheon and to Central City Opera for a truly delightful performance of "A Song for Every Heart." Great food, great company, and a room full of people who love the arts - it doesn't get much better than that.

Our Spring Fling Fundraiser was everything we hoped for and more. Soprano Kate Johnson, baritone Chad Reagan, and pianist Christy Vest filled The Pinery at the Hill with beautiful music, and our incredible community of arts lovers made the evening truly special.

What a beautiful afternoon! 🎶

Pikes Peak Opera League was thrilled to celebrate soprano Hallie Schmidt at our Spring Career Advancement Award Concert. Accompanied by the talented Daniel Brink, Hallie's performance was moving, inspiring, and a wonderful reminder of why we do this work.

Thank you to our incredible PPOL members for the warm hospitality and delicious lunch, and to everyone who came out to share in this special occasion. We are so proud to support the next generation of vocal artists in the Pikes Peak region.
