Brighton Colorado’s Community Orchestra

For more than two decades, the BrightonMusic Orchestra has brought live music to Brighton, Colorado from its home in the First Presbyterian Church of Brighton. Under the direction of Kat McCusker, the orchestra’s founding director, and assistant director Megan Spaulding, we perform 4-5 concerts per season. Practices are held at First Presbyterian Church normally on Saturdays from from 1:30 to 3:30. The orchestra welcomes musicians of any talent level; enthusiasm is all that’s needed. For most events, admission is free. The Choir, under the direction of Deanna Marcy, rehearses Sunday nights 6:30-8:00. For more information, feel free to contact Kat, Megan, or Deanna at brightonmusicweb@gmail.com.
