Eldren

Step inside Denver's beloved Gothic Theatre for an extraordinary evening as Eldren takes the stage to perform Sufjan Stevens' landmark album Illinois in its entirety. Released in 2005, Illinois is widely regarded as one of the most ambitious and emotionally resonant records in American indie music — a sweeping, orchestral love letter to a state, its history, and its soul. Hearing it performed live is a rare and genuinely moving experience that few concerts can match. Eldren brings their signature warmth and musical depth to this singular event on Sunday, May 10, 2026. Known for their lush arrangements and heartfelt performances, the band is uniquely suited to honor the intricate beauty of Stevens' masterwork — from the soaring horns of 'Come On! Feel the Illinoise!' to the tender intimacy of 'Casimir Pulaski Day.' Every note feels like a small revelation in the Gothic's gorgeous, storied hall. The Gothic Theatre itself adds an irreplaceable layer of magic to the evening. With its intimate capacity, rich acoustics, and ornate atmosphere, it is one of Colorado's most cherished music venues — the kind of room where performances become memories. Whether you're a devoted Sufjan Stevens fan or simply a lover of exceptional live music, this is a night that will linger with you long after the final note fades.
