Welcome summer with 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 and experimental music. This summer solstice event resembles an art museum experience, with a series of chamber music performances nestled in the landscape while the audience follows a path of listening and reflection.

People of all ages are welcome; this is a family friendly event.

Please carpool, bike or use public transit; parking will be limited.

Please arrive between 6-6:45 pm and move through the installation of continuous performances at your own pace.

Sliding scale donations are most welcome. Suggested ticket price is $30, 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
