Investing in the Next Generation: Thank You to Our CFA Donors & Partners

At the Center for Future Audiences (CFA), our core mission is simple yet transformative: ensuring that every student in our region has the opportunity to experience the power, beauty, and joy of live orchestral music. Bringing 5,375 students and chaperones across 12 school districts to the Pikes Peak Center for The Carnival of the Animals was an incredible milestone—and one that was only possible through community partnership.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Lane Foundation and the Broadmoor World Arena, whose generous support, alongside all of our dedicated CFA donors, helped break down financial barriers and get students into seats. Because of their commitment to arts education, thousands of young listeners experienced shadow puppetry, expressive dance, and live symphonic music up close—many for the very first time.

Generosity like this fuels the future of our culture and community. We hope other organizations, businesses, and community leaders across Colorado are inspired by these partners to support arts education, ensuring we can continue welcoming students to future Philharmonic Kids concerts with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic for years to come!
