Once again, the generosity of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra will make a significant impact on those who need it most in metro Denver through their gift to The Denver Post Season To Share! TSO is donating $1 per ticket and will announce the total before the 7:30 p.m. performance on Saturday, November 18th at Ball Arena. You can purchase tickets here.

The TSO donation will be matched at $.50 per dollar by The Denver Children’s Foundation and will support more than 50 nonprofit agencies with programs that focus on children and youth, health and wellness, homelessness and hunger.

Each year grants are made to metro Denver nonprofits working to prepare children and youth for success in the classroom and in life, protect children and families in need with medical care, house those in need of a permanent home and nourish those who experience hunger.

Please join us for another year of this great holiday tradition. We can’t thank the Trans-Siberian Orchestra enough for their continued support!

On October 16, 2023, the award-winning and bestselling novelist, Yaa Gyasi kicked off the 20th season for The Denver Post Pen & Podium Series. Gyasi is the author of Homegoing and Transcendent Kingdom and a recipient of the National Book Foundation’s “5 under 35” award. She was mesmerizing and her talk was heartfelt and meaningful.

Prior to her talk Yaa met with Brylyn Powers from Book Trust, the evening’s charitable partner, to hear about the work being done to promote early literacy.
