Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, January 22nd.
We start today with some exciting news from the University of Colorado. CU Boulder has just received the 2026 Carnegie Foundation Award for community engagement, a prestigious honor announced by the American Council on Education. This recognition highlights the university's commitment to serving the Boulder community and beyond, cementing CU's role as a vital partner in local development and civic life.
Speaking of CU, if you're looking for some culture and entertainment this evening, the university has plenty to offer. The Macky Auditorium is hosting Ruckus and Keir GoGwilt performing The Scottish Corelli, with tickets ranging from 23 to 101 dollars. If classical music isn't quite your scene, there are also several free chamber music recitals happening in the Imig Music building throughout the evening, perfect if you want to catch some talented faculty and student performers without breaking the bank.
For those interested in the arts and community connection, the Junkyard Social Club in Boulder is hosting Drop-In Mahjong this afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. It's a great way to spend your Thursday afternoon while meeting neighbors and getting a little friendly competition in.
Book lovers should tune in to KGNU this morning at 9 AM for the KGNU and Boulder Bookstore Radio Book Club. Author Edward Hamlin will be joining the show to discuss his book Sonata in Wax. It's a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from the author and maybe discover your next great read.
Looking ahead to this weekend, there's plenty happening across the Front Range. The Sundance Film Festival kicks off officially today, running through February 1st. This is a historic year as it marks the festival's final edition in Park City, Utah, before relocating to Boulder next January. If you're a film enthusiast, this is your chance to experience one of the world's most prestigious film festivals, and you won't have to travel far next year.
For more local happenings, check out The Dairy in Boulder, which continues to host performances and events throughout the week. The performing arts scene here is truly vibrant and offers something for everyone.
Whether you're interested in community engagement, the arts, great books, or just connecting with neighbors, Boulder has no shortage of activities to fill your day and week.
