Wyoming Arts Council Announces Spring 2025 Piatigorsky Tour

Featured News | April 16, 2025

Free concerts and outreach performances scheduled across the state May 3–8

The Wyoming Arts Council, in partnership with the Piatigorsky Foundation, is pleased to announce the Spring 2025 statewide tour featuring mezzo-soprano Katherine Calcamuggio Donner and pianist Gabriel Evens. From May 3–8, the duo will present a series of free public concerts and school outreach programs in communities across Wyoming.

The Piatigorsky Foundation is dedicated to making live classical music accessible to all, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Since its founding in 1990, the Foundation has brought music to more than 3,775 communities nationwide, engaging seniors, students, and general audiences alike. This tour is made possible by the generous support of the Muriel & Seymour Thickman Family Charitable Trust in Sheridan.

This spring tour offers an opportunity for residents across Wyoming to experience world-class classical music in their hometowns. Performances will occur in museums, community centers, senior centers, colleges, and schools—reinforcing the Wyoming Arts Council’s commitment to community engagement and statewide access to the arts.

“Opportunities to experience live classical music are limited in many parts of Wyoming,” said Amara Fehring, Community Development and Arts Learning Specialist at the Wyoming Arts Council. “The Piatigorsky Tour brings high-level performances directly into places like schools, senior centers, libraries, and museums, which makes classical music more accessible and ensures that cultural experiences aren’t limited to major cities.”
