18 Jun 21st Annual Sunset Concert Series, Wednesdays, Starts 6/26

The Mountain Village comes alive this summer every Wednesday night through mid-August when producer Teddy Errico and the Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association present live music at the 21st annual Sunset Concert Series, June 26 – August 16. Attendance is FREE to all. Scroll down to listen to the performers in action. (The event is held rain or shine.)

One of the most anticipated events of the summer, the Sunset Concert Series continues to celebrate its long-standing tradition of bringing live entertainment to the San Juan Mountains, thanks to producer Teddy Errico who brings nine spectacular shows to Mountain Village’s Sunset Plaza (on the lawn near Lift 1), just steps away from the gondola to the Town of  Telluride. Aptly named because of its west-facing orientation resulting in spectacular sunset views, Sunset Plaza in Mountain Village is one of the most magical music settings in the country.

Again, the series kicks off June 26 and runs through August 14 and the family-friendly, pet-friendly concerts start at 6 p.m. 

Teddy Errico has produced the very popular Sunset Concert Series in Mountain Village for years.

“TMVOA, along with Telluride Society For Music, has established a tradition of bringing talented, up-and-coming, artists to Mountain Village. The Sunset Concert vibe is magical and I’m especially excited about the talent on June 26^th and July 31^st that will appeal to our fantastic Hispanic community,” said Heidi Stenhammer, administration and operations manager for TMVOA: 

“We look forward once again to having our members, guests and visitors come together for this weekly community event that is easily one of the great summer traditions in the region,” said Anton Benitez, TMVOA President and CEO.

We have an incredibly diverse lineup and bringing some genres of music rarely seen in Telluride,” said Teddy Errico. “There is something new and different each week.”

ABOUT MOUNTAIN VILLAGE:

Situated in the heart of the breathtaking San Juan Mountains, Mountain Village was incorporated in 1995 as a home rule municipality.  Its founders envisioned a European-style ski-in/ski-out, pedestrian-friendly destination resort that would complement the historic mining town of Telluride. A three-stage gondola transportation system connects the Town of Mountain Village with the Town of Telluride. Situated at 9,500 feet, Mountain Village is comparably a world apart from other resorts: it is innately spectacular, beautifully orchestrated and planned, and overflowing with style, charm, and sophistication.
