RESCHEDULED!

Celebrate summer with vibrant chamber music that connects new sounds, the environment, and the community.

Vigorous Tenderness is an immersive outdoor concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new / experimental music. This summer solstice event resembles an art museum experience, with chamber music in harmony with the landscape while the audience follows a path of listening and reflection.
Please arrive between 6 and 6:45pm 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
