The series will work to combine classical and other musical repertoire with complementing non-performing art to enhance the listener’s experience, excite the imagination and reduce barriers to entry for those interested in experiencing the power of classical and other music for the first time.
Arts Around the Fire is an opportunity for artists, writers, performers and audiences to engage with colleagues about events affecting the cultural community and learn about new ideas and good work being done. Arts Around the Fire features a cash bar, hors d'oeuvres, and an informal atmosphere where artists and art lovers can connect.
