Vigorous Tenderness: a vernal equinox concert
Monday, March 20th from 5:30-7pm
Bradbury Mountain, Pownal
Celebrate the reemergence of spring with chamber music and forestscapes featuring music by composers of color and queer composers.
Vigorous Tenderness is an immersive outdoor concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new / experimental music. This vernal equinox event resembles an art museum experience, with chamber music blooming throughout the landscape while the audience follows a path of listening and reflection.

Please arrive between 5:30pm and 6:15pm, and move through the installation at your own pace.
Sliding scale donations are welcomed: suggested ticket price is $25 but please pay what you can based on need.
Cash and venmo are accepted; everything goes to the musicians and to sustaining future concerts. venmo: @VigorousTenderness
