Andrea Pares, left, and Olivia Shaw are The Raven Tarts. They are friends who happen to be band mates in Denver’s Avenhart.
In partnership with Developmental Pathways, Swallow Hill Music is proud to present a Sensory Friendly concert featuring The Raven Tarts on Saturday, June 1 in Daniels Hall. Doors are at 12:30 p.m., the concert begins at 1.
The concert in Daniels Hall aims to create a welcoming space for concertgoers and their families to enjoy live music in safe and comfortable surroundings.
Sensory friendly concerts are specifically designed for individuals with sensory sensitivities and developmental disabilities, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. We turn the lights up and the sound down so individuals and their families can walk around, dance, and sing along in a fun, judgement free environment.
Sensory Friendly events are designed to be an inclusive and welcoming experience for individuals impacted by intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their family and friends.
Events like this, while geared toward some of the unique needs of individuals with I/DD, will make our cultural events and experiences more welcoming for all. We welcome individuals of all ages and abilities at this performance.
We realize this will be a new experience for many of the people attending the concert on Sunday. Because of that, we want to share a few photos of our Yale Avenue location in case that helps make our venue more familiar before you attend the concert.
