What does architecture have to do with a summer concert? More than you might think.
Z Group Architecture & Interior Design is proud to be a headline sponsor of the June 18 concert at Basalt River Park, the opening night of the 2025 Basalt Summer Concert Series.
But this is more than music. It’s about community, creativity, and a shared commitment to place. It’s also about supporting the Basalt Education Foundation, a vital organization dedicated to shaping the future of local students and, by extension, our entire community.
A Community Event with Heart
Set along the banks of the Roaring Fork River, this free Wednesday night concert series transforms the town into a rhythm-filled gathering space. On June 18, the park will echo with live music, laughter, and the sound of neighbors reconnecting.
The evening lineup:
5:30 p.m. – Taylor Shae
6:30 p.m. – break
7:00 p.m. – Ipecac
For over 70 years, Z Group has designed buildings, but more importantly, we’ve helped shape the spaces between them — parks, plazas, town centers, and homes where life unfolds. Supporting events like this concert is an extension of that mission: creating experiences that bring people together.
Supporting Education, Shaping the Future
On June 18, all food and beverage proceeds benefit the Basalt Education Foundation, which enhances public education through classroom innovation, enrichment programs, and teacher support.
“Design is about more than structures. It’s about community, connection, and the spaces where people gather and celebrate life together.” — Scott McHale, Principal & Director of Design
At Z Group, we see clear parallels between thoughtful architecture and excellent education: both are built on vision, collaboration, and long-term impact. Supporting organizations like the Basalt Education Foundation is just one way we invest in the people and place that inspire our work.

“Supporting events like this aligns with everything we value: community, creativity, and creating spaces where people can gather and thrive.” — Seth Hmielowski, Senior Principal.
