Inc. Names Ensemble Performing Arts to 2026 Fastest-Growing Private Companies List

Ensemble Performing Arts has announced it has been ranked No. 12 out of 60 companies on Inc. magazine’s sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Rocky Mountains list, a ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Rocky Mountains. The region includes Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah and Colorado.

Ensemble Performing Arts was the highest ranked company in the education category, and just four Colorado businesses were included in the top 15 companies on the Rocky Mountains list.

An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses driving growth across the Rocky Mountains economy. Companies on this year’s list demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during a challenging economic period.

Established in 2019 following the acquisition of a single music school in Louisville, Colorado, Ensemble Performing Arts today serves students at more than 125 local music and dance schools, and is focused on preserving established community relationships, creating more resources for students, and providing opportunities for teachers to build stable careers. Over the past two years, Ensemble has deepened its commitment to preserving the arts by partnering complementary businesses beyond schools, such as the National Educational Music Company, a leading provider of instrument rentals.

“Growing an arts education business means that we’re providing more students with access to music and dance classes and providing more work to the performing artists that teach them, both things we’re extremely proud of,” said Jeff Homer, ensemble’s founder. “Ranking well on the Inc. Fastest-Growing Private Companies list is always an honor, and we’re especially energized knowing that our growth comes from advancing performing arts education in more than 30 states.”

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn’t just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions,” said Bonny Ghosh, Inc.‘s editorial director.
