Tomorrow! 🎶✨ At Linc Library Education Center (Greeley Colorado)!
Join me for a pre-concert talk about how orchestras can truly become sustainable — artistically, financially, socially, and ecologically!
I’ll share insights from more than 20 years of research with 150+ performing arts organizations, including the 4D PAL Ecosystem Mapping and the MAP & ABC Governance Models ( all of that accessible through @performingartslab ) . We’ll also go deep into how we were able to create the amazing Nov. 1st 2025 main stage subscription concert with the @gpo1911 !
Let’s reimagine orchestras as cultural commons — made by and for their communities. 🌍💫. Full info at: https://www.barbosavasquez.com/calendar [link ok bio]

There are many kinds of concerts — Educational, Family, Pops, Subscription, and Diplomatic.

I’ve had the joy of not only conducting them all, but also creating very special ones from The History of...™ to The Opera Camp™ (that can be accessed through @performingartslab Productions), concerts and programs specially designed to reach thousands and even received international recognition.

But Subscription and Diplomatic concerts — that’s where a REAL MAESTRO is truly in action and are the ones I enjoy THE MOST!!
They require every discipline: musical, cultural, artistic, and diplomatic. And when done right, they bring it all together — the energy of pop, the joy of family, the depth of education, and a deeply focused artistic vision — into one powerful cultural statement.

That’s exactly what’s happening with the Greeley Philharmonic (@gpo1911 ) this week. Together, we’re turning a SUBSCRIPTION Concert into a full cultural declaration:
- Every heritage belongs on the main stage.
- All stories, aesthetics, values, and cultures deserves to be broadcasted by high level performing arts institutions.
- Orchestras must serve their communities.

That’s the kind of music and performing arts experience that truly transforms. More info at: https://www.barbosavasquez.com/calendar [Link on my Bio]

✨ Back at my alma mater (today with IU Alumni @iualumniassoc & @iugroupsaa ), and what a joy it is to be among the next generation of artists and arts leaders! There’s something truly special about seeing eager students ready to step into the future, curious, bold, and full of ideas. 🌟

I had the honor of sharing insights of the Performing Arts field as Panelist with the Groups Scholars Program 2025 cohort—not just as a conductor and artist, but also representing Performing Arts Laboratory (PAL @performingartslab ). At PAL, our mission is to empower all stakeholders in the performing arts—artists, administrators, organizations, and communities—so creativity, collaboration, and innovation can thrive sustainably. 🎼💡

This aligns deeply with my own mission: to develop sustainable relationships through the arts that connect people, inspire collaboration, and strengthen communities worldwide. Moments like these remind me why this work matters, and why empowering tomorrow’s leaders is at the heart of everything I do. 🌍

Thank you to the students, faculty, and alumni for your warm welcome. The future of music, opera, orchestra, and ballet is bright—and I’m grateful to help guide the way. 🥰

Did you know that conducting goes beyond sound...?
It’s about people, purpose, and presence — where music isn’t just a tool, but a living force for connection and change.

Whether I’m leading an orchestra, advising an institutional board, or speaking to thousands of field leaders, my goal is the same: to activate excellence that benefits society as a whole — artistically, socially, financially, and structurally.

If you're shaping the future of your season or your mission, I invite you to explore how we can collaborate with organizations around the world — and how, together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive field for everyone.
