Welcome Spring with chamber music that connects new sounds, the environment, and the community. We are thrilled to partner with Portland Trails for this performance.

Vigorous Tenderness is an immersive outdoor concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new and experimental music. This Vernal Equinox event resembles an art museum experience, with a series of chamber music performances in harmony with 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 take public transit; parking may be limited.

Please arrive between 5:30-6:15 pm and move through the installation of continuous performances at your own pace.

Sliding scale donation, advanced tickets not required. 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

Rain/snow date: Friday, March 21, 5:30-7:00 p.m.

We value inclusion and access for all participants. This concert involves moving over uneven ground, navigating some wide flat trails, and visiting musical sites up to a half-mile from the parking lot. For more information, please reach out to vigorous.tenderness@gmail.com.
