History of The American Music Society
The American Music Society of Colorado Springs is over a hundred years old. It was founded by local music lovers who wished to share their love of this art with their neighbors. As the Society continued to grow, numerous homes and citywide facilities have opened, and continue to open, their doors to welcome this group which meets monthly from October through May. All periods of classical music are included on the programs. Click Here to View Historical Programs
