Julie’s Program

Named in honor of one of Travis’s sisters and funded in large part through an annual gift from The Ritter Family, “Julie’s Program” brings music to people in our community who are living with developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as neurodiversities.

Julie often says that music is her “favorite thing in the whole world.” Through music Julie is able to better communicate her thoughts and feelings, find joy, and be engaged in social activities.

Julie’s Program provides music and theatrical programming that is accessible, inclusive, and engaging for people with different needs and abilities.

Parlando partners with various groups including FRIENDS of Broomfield, Community Link, and multiple areas of IMAGINE to bring music into as many lives as possible. We also partner with Temple Grandin School to support additional members of our neurodiverse community through music and the arts.
