As we approach the end of January 2020 and all the Denver concerts along with it, it safe to say we have a lot to look forward this year. January got the Denver music scene off to a booming start, and it’s not over yet – we’ve still got one more week left. If you haven’t taken the time to truly check out what the Denver music scene has to offer, there’s no time like the present to get started. As always, we’ve got the guide to all things concerts in The Mile High City for you to use below.
Monday, January 27

Where: Dazzle Jazz

Hwang-Williams, along with her acclaimed accompanist Hsu are teaming up to celebrate the birthday of classical legend Ludwig van Beethoven in the heart of downtown Denver.
