Welcome to Season Four!

Welcome to the housewarming party for Telling Stories’ new website! We had some very nice digs previously (thanks, 303 Software!), but as we started to plan our biggest season ever, we decided we might need even more space and have even more interactivity to keep you up on all things Telling Stories.

If you are new to our concert series, check out our media page to hear some of our essayists read their works and our musicians perform.

We can’t wait any longer to tell you about our biggest news of the season — we’re going to be produced as a radio show by Colorado Public Radio! Which means that not only will we be played on the radio waves around Colorado, we’ll now have a very fancy podcast after each concert that we can share with our national and international listeners. (We expect to be huge in Japan.)

If you are anywhere near the Colorado area, then you really should come see one of our live shows — you can see a complete listing in our events calendar, where you can also peruse our previous concerts.

Not only are we doing our live performances and recording our radio show, but we’re also expanding our outreach — we’ll be guest lecturers in graduate and undergraduate music classes at the University of Colorado-Boulder, we’ll be performing at the New Frontiers Festival of New Music in Laramie, as well as offering a panel talk to the undergraduate music students at the University of Wyoming, and we’ll be hosting our annual Telling Stories’ Denver School of the Arts concert, where we bring together creative writing and music students to create their own interdisciplinary concert.

We couldn’t bring all this creative programming to you (especially in this economy!) without your support — please help us continue Telling Stories by donating here.

Check back often; Telling Stories will be blogging and tweeting about all of its performances here, as well as offering some behind-the-scenes looks at the freelance lifestyles of our writers and musicians. (Thank goodness for our beer sponsors.) And welcome to our new home!
