2010 Musicians

Each year, local musicians specializing in soft, relaxing background music donate their time and

talent to play at our quilt show while our visitors are viewing the quilts. 

We’re thrilled that most of them return for several years in a row.
We’re proud to introduce them to you.

Kyle Hanson
Kyle Hanson, a graduate from Heritage High School, a Boettcher Scholar who will be attending the University of Denver in the fall, and a former student at Forte Academy of Music, began playing the piano at the age of 7.  His love of music has given him many opportunities to perform as a soloist and accompanist at a variety of venues, as well as numerous concerts, recitals and

festivals throughout the Denver area.

When not at school or practicing the piano, Kyle stays busy with theatre, languages and the family garden.
