Concerts on The Slopes
Written By: Marlene Osteen | Issue: July 2023
The mountains rock and roll with the sounds of Sapphire Valley’s Concerts on the Slopes. These raucous celebrations are open to the public.
Twenty-two years ago, Sapphire Valley Resort hosted a concert on their ski mountain for a small group of residents and visitors.
They called it Concert on the Slopes. The idea caught on, and the annual conclaves there have gone without interruption, making it one of the most sought-after music series on the Plateau.
For the 2023 season, the nights will once again come alive with captivating performances by Motown and Beach bands and the irresistible music of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Performances are scheduled from June through September and feature entertainment for music lovers of all ages.
Guaranteed to ACE your evening and bring you to your dancing feet is the ACE Party Band, performing on Tuesday, July 18. As the band promises, the concert is certain to be, “the experience you want, the fun you deserve.”
This diverse group of gifted musicians has a versatile style guaranteed to entertain and invigorate. Paying homage to the iconic music that molded multiple generations, and continues to influence music style today, ACE Party Band takes you back to the days of the Jacksons, the Supremes, Earth Wind & Fire, The Temptations, and Michael Jackson. Blend this in with Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and Beyonce, and you have the penultimate evening entertainment. It’s music for all generations, from all genres spanning Top 40s, Pop Rock, Hip Hop, Country, and Rock.
Rounding out the summer season are concerts by The Embers on August 8, and TheCat5 Band on September 3. Performances are open to the public. Tickets, which can be purchased at the Sapphire Valley Community Center, are $22 in advance, $27 at the gate, and season passes to the series are available for $75 each.
As every concertgoer can attest, there is no substitute for being part of a live audience, seeing and hearing music created in real time along with others who have gathered to share in the sensations. So, round up your family and friends, pack the picnic baskets, blankets, lawn chairs, and spend a musical evening at Sapphire Valley.
And don’t forget to pack your dancing shoes for that moment when the music overcomes you, and the urge to dance cannot be repressed.
Sapphire Valley Resort provides approximately 100 chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis. Concerts are held rain or shine.
