  • Julie’s Program

    Named in honor of one of our founder’s sisters, and funded in large part by The Ida Fund of the Community Foundation Serving Boulder County and the Broomfield Community Foundation, “Julie’s Program” brings music and theatrical programming to people in our community who are living with developmental, disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and neurodiversities.

  • Intergenerational

    Boulder Day Nursery
    Mother House
    Parkinson Association of the Rockies.

  • Tuition Assistance

    We believe that all students should be able to pursue their passions and have access to the opportunities provided by music and the arts. Our co-founders, Travis and Christine LaBerge, were the beneficiaries of reduced-price music lessons and collegiate scholarships and started Parlando in 2002 understanding that children do not determine their financial situations.
