Editor’s note: The opinions of the smart, well-read women in my Denver book club mean a lot, and often determine what the rest of us choose to pile onto our bedside tables. So we asked them, and all Denver Post readers, to share their mini-reviews with you. Have any to offer?

I made a big mistake last summer. Instead of exploring Colorado, I gallivanted around Europe and other parts of the United States. Call it pent-up post-pandemic wanderlust or whatever you want, but I swear I blinked a few times, and suddenly it was September.

Levitt Pavilion’s stage unfolds like a silvery jewel box, its three open sides facing a massive green that has hosted thousands of music fans since 2017. Most of them didn’t pay a dime to get in. The nonprofit organization’s hundreds of free, high-quality concerts over the years have made it an all-ages mecca in Denver’s competitive music scene, as well as a gathering place in Ruby Hill that neighbors have embraced despite the noise and traffic complications.

It has also led the way for the Levitt national network, which includes 7 freestanding venues that operate as Levitt Pavilions, 32 free-concert series partners in rural areas (or Levitt Amps), and a trio of Levitt Vibe concerts (city-based series), all spread evenly across the U.
